Step 1: Apply Online in Just 7 Minutes
Getting started is simple. Complete Easy Pay Direct’s online application. It takes just seven minutes.
Once you apply, you’ll be paired with a New Client Specialist (NCS). Think of them as your personal guide. They’ll answer your questions, clear roadblocks, and make sure you’re set up for success from day one.
Step 2: Submit Documents for Underwriting
Like every legitimate processor, Easy Pay Direct requires certain documents to comply with Know Your Customer (KYC) laws. These regulations are in place to prevent fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes.
Your NCS will walk you through the requirements and make the process smooth.
Typical documents include:
- Articles of Incorporation
- A voided check or bank letter
- The last 3 months of processing statements (if established)
- The last 3 months of bank statements
- A government-issued ID
This step ensures transparency, compliance, and readiness for underwriting.
Step 3: Underwriting & Bank Matching
Here’s where Easy Pay Direct truly sets itself apart. Instead of running all merchants under a shared account like Stripe or Square, we underwrite each business individually and match you with a back-end bank that understands your industry.
This is also where your Certified Payment Specialist (CPS) comes into play. They act as a filter and translator between you and the banks, ensuring your business is presented in the best light. Just like an attorney, your CPS knows what underwriters need to see and what they don’t.
Your CPS manages the flow of information so only the most relevant details reach the underwriters. This personalized approach:
- Maximizes account stability
- Reduces the risk of shutdowns or frozen funds
- Ensures you’re partnered with a bank aligned with your business model
- Increases your chances of approval with the best rates for your business
It’s underwriting built for growth not just quick approvals.
Step 4: Approval & Start Processing Payments
Once your account is approved, you’ll meet your Merchant Success Team. They’ll handle:
- Gateway setup
- Shopping cart connections
- Any required integrations
This means you can start processing payments with Easy Pay Direct quickly and confidently.
Step 5: Ongoing Payment Optimization
The support doesn’t end once you’re approved. Easy Pay Direct builds a Payment Optimization Plan (POP) for every business.
This plan is designed to scale with you and is reviewed at 7, 30, 90, and 180 days. It covers:
- Adding more accounts for greater bandwidth and stability
- Reducing chargebacks, declines, and fraud risks
- Leveraging advanced tools like invoicing, Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL), and 3D Secure
- Tracking everything in your portal for transparency
Your Merchant Success Team partners with you at every stage to fine-tune your payments, protect your revenue, and support growth.
