You need to get a merchant account activated to process the online payments for your business transactions. This blog discusses the possibility of online merchant account instant approval.

Getting an instant merchant account approval is both true and false. It is like the two sides of a coin, it can be both – easy as well as very difficult.
Why?
The reason behind this is that in order to approve your online merchant account, there are not only just the requirements from the payment gateway but also the requirements from the bank side. And in the maximum number of situations, the bank takes the most of the time delaying the activation process.
However, the type of merchant account will play a major role in the time take for the account activation. Meaning to say that the approval process for the high-risk merchant account takes more time than the one with the low-risk.
PayKun has provided online merchant account instant approval to various merchants to date. All these registered accounts followed the same onboarding and KYC process with the verification steps. However, fulfilling the terms from their side was also instant and the verification was successful on the spot.
