High Risk Placement
One of the greatest missed opportunities for payment processors today is the lost revenue derived from higher risk merchants. Sales organizations are usually confronted with 2 issues regarding these types of businesses:
- Finding an outlet that will accept ALL of their high risk business (often times so called ‘high risk placement’ firms will only take certain categories of high risk accounts, OR restrict their acceptance of those high risk merchants processing above or below a certain dollar amount each month)
- Finding an outlet that will provide them with a TRUE revenue split (often times so called ‘high risk placement’ firms offer you a percentage of THEIR OWN percentage of the revenue split)
We can assist you in finding an organization who will allow you to capitalize on this potential profit. If you are currently looking for a processor to place the following types of accounts, you should contact us immediately:

Bankcard Acquisitions 101 (Course Offering)
For first time buyers and sellers in the payments space, this is a wonderful opportunity to get a comprehensive perspective on deals and valuations. Learn about the state of the marketplace, different types of acquisition opportunities, buyer motivations and strategies, deal structures, due diligence requests, and of course, valuations.
Attrition Analysis (Service/Course Offering)
The single most influential value driver for payment processing portfolios is the rate of revenue loss over time, or ATTRITION. We will teach you the methodology used to calculate this metric, explain how it figures into valuation, and educate you as to the meaning of the results as they are measured against historical averages and trending.
Valuations (Service/Course Offering)
We will work with you to value your own opportunity, or an acquisition that you are thinking about purchasing. We can also teach you how to build your own financial model to value opportunities yourself.
