Who Can Benefit
The businesses that are best suited for the PayFac model are those with multiple clients, who, in turn, offer their own products. Under the PayFac model, these merchants can be converted to sub-merchants. Some examples of suitable companies include software platforms, SaaS companies, franchisors, online marketplaces, ISOs, private equity firms, and venture capital firms.
PayFac Model Advantages
- The large variety of functions. PayFacs are more involved than ISOs. While ISOs resell merchant accounts, PayFacs can also get involved in the merchant lifecycle.
- Unified operations and consolidated volume. ISOs generally want to have the capability to forward merchants in various industries to acquirers supporting the corresponding MCC code. This leads to ISOs partnering with several acquirers and processors. In contrast, PayFacs usually partner with at most two acquirers, lending themselves to being more unified internally and having consolidated transaction processing volume.
- Higher profit and more favorable processing terms. PayFacs strive to offer its services as a single package for a single acquirer or processor. (Diazepam) Due to the previous two listed advantages, PayFacs can contract more lucrative processing terms for their sub-merchants, resulting in increased revenue.
- High accessibility. There are many types of PayFac models for various companies, including ISVs, SaaS platform providers, franchisors, and ISOs. All that’s required to earn more is an established number of clients to become a PayFac.
- Increased company value. Many software and SaaS platforms attract investors based on their increase in value. Usually, the evaluation process is based on the annual revenue of the platform. For these companies, the PayFace model creates an additional income stream, increasing the overall annual revenue. This, in turn, makes the company appear more appealing to potential investors.
- Outside platforms and acquirers offer PayFac programs. More processing platforms and acquirers have started to take into account PayFacs due to their growth and advantages. Businesses willing to adopt the PayFac model are increasingly being offered PayFac programs.
