Your acquirer is costing you more than fees.

Every declined first deposit is acquisition spend you already paid for. Here’s where generic PSPs lose it, and what changes when you switch.

Four ways generic PSPs lose your FTDs.

  • Shared MIDs. One bad merchant on the pool and your approvals drop with theirs.
  • Frozen payouts. Reserves and holds appear without warning, right when you’re scaling.
  • Static routing. One acquirer, one shot. A soft decline is treated as final.
  • No first-deposit focus. FTDs are scored like every other payment, so issuers see high risk and say no.

What changes with FtdPay.

  • Your own dedicated MID, matched to your vertical and GEOs.
  • Multi-acquirer routing that sends each FTD where it’s most likely to be approved.
  • Soft-decline recovery on the next-best acquirer, within card-scheme retry rules.
  • Local payment fallback (Pix, UPI, open banking, local wallets) when a card fails.
  • Pre-deposit fraud screening that stops bad FTDs before they become chargebacks.
  • Settlement in T+1, with reserves agreed up front.
The leak

Where the money goes.

At a 38% issuer decline rate, more than a third of the players who reach the pay button never fund. You paid the affiliate, the media and the bonus for every one of them.
