The ProPay® Payment Facilitation Program

What is a Payment Facilitator?

A payment facilitator is defined by Pymnts.com as “a merchant service provider that simplifies the merchant account enrollment process.” Payment facilitators operate on a sub-merchant platform where merchants no longer require their own merchant identification number (MID), but are boarded directly under the payment facilitator’s master MID account.

What it Takes to Become a Registered Payment Facilitator

Becoming a payment facilitator requires specialized skills and knowledge to successfully navigate the registration process and execute on delivery of the service.

To further help you understand what it takes to become a registered payment facilitator, the following is a quick-glance checklist of steps involved:

• Register with both Visa and Mastercard and pay the requisite fees (annually)
• Find a payment processor to sponsor you as a payment facilitator and negotiate a processing agreement
• Document and adopt an underwriting policy and hire people to manage underwriting
• Establish a risk management policy and employ people to manage risk
• Build a platform on which you can manage your business and all aspects of payment processing (transaction monitoring, funding, reporting, etc.) or partner with a company that has an existing payment facilitation platform
• Board sub merchants and begin processing
