Card Acquiring

Accepting card payments is the foundation of any modern business. Card acquiring is the process that allows merchants to accept payments via credit and debit cards, whether online, in-app, or at the point of sale. A card acquirer (or acquiring bank) acts as the intermediary between merchants and the card networks (like Visa, Mastercard, or Amex), ensuring every card transaction is authorized, processed, and settled securely.

Choosing the right acquiring partner is critical. It directly impacts transaction success rates, processing costs, speed of settlement, and your ability to serve global customers. Businesses today need more than just card acceptance—they need infrastructure that scales with them, mitigates risk, and ensures regulatory compliance across regions.

Key Features & Capabilities:

• Multi-Network Acceptance: Accept major card brands worldwide, including regional and domestic networks.
• Fast Settlement Options: Get access to funds quickly with configurable settlement timelines.
• Smart Transaction Routing: Automatically optimize acquirers per region or card type for better approval rates.
• Fraud Detection & Risk Management: Real-time protection against chargebacks, stolen cards, and suspicious activity.
• Regulatory & PCI Compliance: Fully aligned with local and global security standards for card data handling.
• Transparent Pricing Models: Choose between blended, interchange++, or custom rates based on your volumes.

Why Card Acquiring Still Matters:

Even with the rise of wallets and APMs, cards remain the most trusted and widely used payment method globally. For subscription platforms, marketplaces, or retail, ensuring a smooth card payment experience can significantly affect customer retention and conversion rates. The right acquiring setup also unlocks cross-border growth and cost savings through intelligent routing and optimized transaction fees.
