NOT ANOTHER GENERIC AI WRAPPER

The Key Difference

Most AI compliance tools give you generic advice that could apply to anyone. Guardβ„’ is different. It knows YOUR business.

Generic AI (ChatGPT)

"Here's how to implement RDR to reduce chargebacks. You'll need to sign up with Verifi or Ethoca, configure your dispute rules, and monitor the results..."

PERSONALIZED
Guardβ„’ (Knows YOUR Data)

"You're processing $85K/month in gaming with 2.3% chargebacks. Here's how to implement RDR for YOUR business. At your volume, you'll prevent 284 disputes per month, saving $21,584. I'll walk you through it step by step using your Paynote data..."

Personalized to Your Actual Data

When you talk to Guardβ„’, it already knows:

Monthly Volume
$85K
Chargeback Rate
2.3%
Industry
Gaming
Region
Brazil
PSP
Stripe
Risk Status
VAMP Exposure

Guardβ„’ learns from YOUR business data, so instead of generic compliance advice, you get:

"You're a gaming merchant in Brazil processing $85K/month. Your 2.3% chargeback rate is 206% above the VAMP threshold. Here's exactly what to do..."

Don't Risk Account Closure - Get Insights β†’

Keeping Merchants Alive

Payment processors shut down 100,000+ merchants every year. Most never knew they were at risk. PSPs have a monopoly on compliance intelligenceβ€”they know YOUR risk status but won't share it. YOU only find out when they freeze YOUR account.

We built the intelligence layer PSPs have but won't share. Every merchant gets access to the same risk visibility that billion-dollar companies get: AI-powered PSP matching based on YOUR location, YOUR industry, YOUR risk profile. Not generic adviceβ€”actual processor names, regional rates, and approval probabilities for YOUR specific situation.

100% FREE Forever

1 free GuardScoreβ„’ assessment per month for life + free public alerts channel (Telegram + portal) with industry-wide compliance updates. Includes compliance score (0-100), risk factors, and PSP approval predictions. Businesses that complete KYB verification get even more free benefits including enhanced risk analysis and priority processor matching. No credit card required.

Plus exclusive compliance resources, industry-specific guides, and direct processor introductions.

What is a high-risk backup account and why do I need one?

A high-risk backup account is a secondary payment processor ready to activate if your primary account gets frozen or terminated. Stripe/PayPal/Square can freeze accounts with 24 hours notice, locking your funds for 90-180 days. Having a pre-approved backup processor means you can restore revenue within 48-72 hours instead of losing months of sales. We help match you with backup processors that specialize in your industry and risk profile.
