Payments run on confusion, hidden costs, and vendor-driven advice — and the industry prices all three in as the cost of doing business. We treat them as defects. Defects can be fixed.
Founded and run by operators from Visa, Verifi, CardinalCommerce, Signifyd, Elavon and Global Payments.
Each can be purchased independently, but they’re designed to work together as a comprehensive payment optimization platform.
Millions of people stare at a statement line every month and cannot tell who charged them. The industry prices that confusion in as a cost of doing business — we treat it as a defect, and defects can be fixed. Descriptors.com is the registry where merchants declare who they are, so every charge can explain itself and the dispute button stops being the bank’s only answer.
“61% of disputes are due to vague merchant descriptions or lack of information, not actual fraud.” — Srii Srinivasan, co-founder and former CEO, Chargeback Gurus, 2025
Reconciling processor statements devours days and still hides the story. FeeSuite reconciles your acquirer and processor statements every month, keeps a full history, and shows your true cost of payments — with errors, duplicates, and excessive charges surfaced for you and routed to the people who can act on them.
The biggest payments decisions are ones you only get to make once. ARKITEKT puts senior operators at your table — 15+ years across fraud, acquiring, and card-network strategy — who make specific, best-of-breed recommendations and stay through deployment. The recommendation is the product, not a referral.
Six questions, about three minutes: authorization rate, fraud, chargebacks, refunds, disputes, and what you actually pay to process. Benchmarked against your business model — not a generic average — with an instant read on where you're strong and where you're leaking money.
