What is a Payment Facilitator?

A payment facilitator holds a master merchant identification number (MID) with the processor, which allows them to open sub-merchant accounts. They own the entire merchant experience and the authority and capability of allowing other businesses to accept payments under their merchant umbrella.

After evaluating a few key criteria to assess acceptable risk, payment facilitators can quickly turn on new merchants as sub-accounts allowing these merchants to start accepting payments immediately. The merchants no longer need to go through lengthy underwriting processes with 3rd parties to acquire their own MID since their account will be a sub-account of the payment facilitator.

Why Consider Becoming a Payment Facilitator?

Earnadditionalrevenue

 

Earn additional revenue

Monetize every transaction flowing through your platform or portfolio. Create a new revenue stream by earning a percentage of the sub-merchants’ transactions through processing fees and sub-merchant pricing that you establish. These earnings add up fast, especially as more and more sub-merchants are onboarded. This can quickly contribute to an uptick in top-line revenue.

Optimize the user experience

Customers expect quick, simple, and intuitive user experiences. Payment facilitators control the entire onboarding and customer experience for their users – including payment acceptance! The step of recommending or referring clients to a 3rd party payment processor is now eliminated. Having this process streamlined eases obstacles and gives customers fewer points of contact to manage their use of your solution.

Offer a more valuable solution

Create a more valuable solution by removing unnecessary steps and 3rd party friction for your clients. Promote the quick and easy process of getting payments up and running to attract new customers who appreciate fewer moving parts as they adopt new software. By speeding up the overall onboarding and payments acceptance process, you can deliver a better solution that meets more clients’ needs, while increasing the valuation of your business through innovation and recurring revenue.
