# BankMyCapital BankMyCapital is a boutique consultancy that gets high-risk businesses banked, and keeps them banked. We advise crypto, iGaming, forex and adult operators on bank account opening, licensing, and payment processing — one senior team, since 2018. We tell clients which institution is likely to say yes before they apply, rather than selling a contact list and hoping. 87% of the cases we take on are approved, because we do not take on the ones that are not yet bankable. 300+ businesses placed with regulated institutions since 2018. 73% of the businesses we bank arrive after multiple rejections elsewhere.
