Launch the platform built for acquirers.

The regulated platform infrastructure, operating technology and technical capacity beneath your acquiring operation. You control the programme, merchant proposition, partner ecosystem and commercial model.

The acquiring infrastructure that operates on your terms.

An Acquirer needs more than a payment product. It needs a platform capable of supporting its merchant strategy, partner ecosystem, operational controls and commercial model, without rebuilding every infrastructure layer from scratch.

Control the proposition
Set the merchant strategy, payment products, commercial model and customer experience around your operation.
Control the partner ecosystem
Define how ISVs, SaaS companies and other partners access and build on your acquiring platform.
Control the operating model
Structure the programme, responsibilities, technical delivery and service arrangement around your organisation.

Your strategy sets the order. The platform follows it.

The arrangement is defined around the acquiring operation you run, not around a standard programme shape.

  1. Acquiring strategy

    Your products, merchant strategy, partner ecosystem and the acquiring environment you operate within.

  2. Operating model

    The platform arrangement, responsibilities, governance and service structure, defined around your organisation.

  3. Partner programme

    How ISVs, SaaS companies and distribution partners access your platform, and on what commercial terms.

  4. Integration

    APIs, events and operational interfaces connected to your estate, and the whole operation exercised end to end.

  5. Live operation

    The platform runs under your permissions and governance, and extends as the strategy does.

Add PayFacLite® technical delivery where architecture, integration or additional build capacity is wanted. It never changes the responsibilities of the arrangement.
