Travel & future delivery
Ticket Brokers & Resellers merchant accounts, placed with banks that write the category.
Needs a bank that writes the category on purpose. Roughly 5–10 business days, a dedicated gateway, and usually a reserve.
The underwriting objection
Why banks flinch at this category.
Resale means the buyer pays you for an asset you may not hold yet, at a price above face value, for an event that could be postponed. Every one of those facts is a dispute waiting to happen, and event cancellations create refund waves that arrive all at once. Banks price the correlated risk, not your individual honesty.
Recommended setup
- Gateway
- High-risk gateway with vault and manual-review queue
- Settlement rail
- Card-not-present primary, ACH for large orders
- Reserve expectation
- Rolling reserve expected, sized to event dates
- Equipment
- Hosted checkout or API
What we actually do

Reserve sized against your event calendar so postponements do not freeze the account
Fraud rules tuned for high-ticket, same-day-delivery orders
A secondary processing path so a single mass-cancellation event does not shut you down
