About PeptideApprove
PeptideApprove provides merchant services for research-use-only peptide businesses and other eligible high-risk ecommerce merchants. It is partnered with the acquiring bank. PeptideApprove qualifies merchants, handles onboarding, and stays on for ongoing merchant support. Card-network access and money movement are provided through that acquiring bank and its processing partners. The site is aimed at RUO peptide ecommerce and other merchants these services can review. Approval, pricing, reserves, settlement timing, and card issuance depend on KYC/KYB, product compliance, partner approval, card-network rules, and the written merchant agreement. No card rate is published here.

PeptideApprove serves research-use-only peptide ecommerce and other eligible high-risk merchants. GLP-1 adjacent operators are in that conversation when the file matches a path the partners can review. Clinical, pharmacy, telehealth, and patient-care models are not treated as the same file as a compliant RUO retailer.
The public application is how a merchant asks for a review. Submitting it does not approve the account.
PeptideApprove provides the merchant services. It qualifies the merchant, collects the onboarding file, and supports the account after approval. It is partnered with the acquiring bank, which underwrites the file and moves the money.
A customer paying by card is paying through that acquiring bank. PeptideApprove is the merchant-services company the business works with.
The application asks for the legal entity, EIN, registered address, website, owner identity and home address, government ID, a proof of address less than three months old, formation documents, and the settlement bank account in the legal entity’s name. A bank statement for that account is required.
Acquirers classify many peptide sellers as high risk because of product claims, dispute patterns, and regulatory attention. High risk changes the review. It does not, on this site, come with a published rate or a guaranteed reserve.
A plain-language explanation is on why peptide businesses are high risk.

Card-network access and money movement run through the acquiring bank PeptideApprove is partnered with, and through that bank's processing partners. Approval depends on underwriting and the written merchant agreement.
These merchant services are for RUO peptide ecommerce and other eligible high-risk merchants, including GLP-1 adjacent operators when the file fits a reviewed path. Clinical, pharmacy, telehealth, and patient-care models are reviewed separately.
Not every peptide business qualifies. Product claims, ownership, processing history, and the website all matter. Merchants apply at the existing application and submit the documents that form requests.
PeptideApprove provides the merchant services and is partnered with the acquiring bank. The acquiring bank sponsors card-network access and money movement. PeptideApprove is the merchant-services company the merchant works with.
Qualification, onboarding, and ongoing support are PeptideApprove's work. Settlement runs through the acquiring bank it is partnered with, and that bank's processing partners.
The application asks for the legal entity, EIN, registered address, website, owner identity and home address, government ID, a proof of address less than three months old, formation documents, and the settlement bank account in the legal entity’s name.
A bank statement for that account is required. A driver’s license or identity card needs the front and the back. Sole proprietors provide the last four digits of a Social Security number instead of an EIN. Do not upload card numbers, bank login credentials, or a full Social Security number. After the file is accepted, the processing agreement is emailed to the owner.
PeptideApprove reviews the merchant profile, then routes a complete file for sponsor-bank underwriting. The merchant is told what path fits, or if the file cannot be onboarded.
Eligible merchants with complete information can receive an underwriting response in about 48 hours. Card acceptance, if approved, is described as beginning within 72 hours after all documents are in. Both timings depend on review and are not a guarantee.
You complete the application on this website, upload the documents the form requests, and PeptideApprove reviews eligibility before a partner underwrites the file.
Start at the apply page. The form collects the legal entity, the owner, and the settlement account. Pricing, reserves, and settlement are confirmed in the merchant agreement if the account is approved.
The public site describes service in the United States. Other geographies are not published.
The application still has to match a partner that can sponsor the merchant. Location alone does not approve an account.
