The basics
What Is a White-Label Payment Gateway?
A white-label payment gateway is ready-made payment software that a PSP, bank or ISO licenses from a technology vendor and offers to merchants under its own brand. The vendor builds and maintains the platform. You keep the brand, the merchant relationships and the pricing.
Akurateco is the vendor in this model. Akurateco is not a payment processor and does not process transactions itself; clients bring their own acquiring.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Akurateco a payment gateway or payment gateway software?
Akurateco is white-label payment gateway software, not a payment gateway itself. Our clients run it under their own brand as their own gateway: PSPs that are looking to start their business or move from an old to a new platform, and banks that need software to manage merchants efficiently. Akurateco doesn’t process transactions; that stays with our clients’ acquirers.
Do you also offer acquiring/payment processing services?
We specialize in payment software development and maintenance. We can refer you to an acquiring partner of our company if we know the one that would be a good fit.
We do not, however, participate in financial flow per se, and this is not the service that we offer on a daily basis.
Can a PSP migrate its merchants to Akurateco?
Yes. Your current acquirers are connected as integrations, and merchant accounts and their data move across from the old platform. For instance, Complete Payment Systems moved from its in-house platform to Akurateco with full data migration in two months.
Is Akurateco a payment processor?
No. Akurateco is not a payment processor and does not process transactions itself; clients bring their own acquiring. Akurateco provides the gateway and orchestration layer on top of acquirers.
How much does a white-label payment gateway cost?
Akurateco does not publish a price list: fees are negotiated individually. The price depends on the deployment option you choose, the set of features, the number of integrations, and whether custom development is required. Request a demo to get a quote for your setup.
How long does it take to go live?
On SaaS, the typical time from contract to first live transaction is 5 business days with pre-integrated connectors. Deployment in your preferred cloud takes from 30 days, and an On-Premises installation on dedicated infrastructure from 60 days. Connectors that are not integrated yet extend the timeline.
Who uses a white-label payment gateway?
PSPs that are launching or replacing a platform, acquiring banks and financial institutions that serve merchants, and ISOs, resellers and SaaS platforms that want a gateway under their own brand.
Can the platform be deployed on-premises?
Yes. Besides SaaS, the platform can be installed On-Premises on your dedicated infrastructure, in a private cloud, or in your preferred cloud such as Oracle, AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
Which integrations are available?
700+ integrations with acquirers, PSPs and payment methods. Your merchants connect through a hosted checkout, a host-to-host integration, CMS plugins, or the mobile SDK for iOS and Android.
Is the platform PCI DSS compliant and licensed?
The platform is PCI DSS v4.0.1, Level 1 certified and is licensed by SAMA, QCB, and the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA).
