It makes sense. If a merchant decides to set up a business bank account, why not sell them payment processing at the same time. This increases the banks average revenue per user (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Average_revenue_per_user\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ARPU<\/a>).\u00a0<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 1rem;\">Some banks are acquirers, but most banks and credit unions are ISOs.<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cibc.com\/en\/business\/merchant-services.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CIBC<\/a>, for example, is an ISO of USA acquirer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalpayments.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Payments<\/a>.

Most banks will brand the products of acquirers so it is very difficult to know if a bank is an acquirer or an ISO.<\/span><\/p><p>The benefit of using a bank ISO is that you are consolidating your financial services if you have your bank account at the same institution. This simplifies the number of organizations you work with. The downfall bank ISOs is that you generally get very &#8220;cookie-cutter&#8221; products and services. The largest complaint most merchants have is that the customer service can vary wildly resulting in a poor experience from bank ISOs. Historically, banks are not known for the best customer service.<\/p><p>Of course, you can have a poor experience with a non-bank ISO, but if you can find the right ISO, they can potentially be some of the most cutting-edge payment providers in the world with exceptional customer service. This is what <a href=\"https:\/\/trc-parus.ru\/\">TRC-Parus<\/a> aims to be.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4474baf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4474baf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is the difference between an acquirer and an ISO in payment processing?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-637b289 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"637b289\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the end, ISOs sell the same products and services as acquirers. The difference with an ISO is that they can have a wider range of products because they can work with multiple acquirers to package up customized products. ISOs then have the opportunity to offer a solution that is better fitting for certain merchants.<\/p><p>In general, it is difficult to determine if you are working with an ISO or an acquirer because most of the technology is white labeled, meaning it has the logo of whichever company is selling and servicing it.<\/p><p>When it comes down to price, there is generally little difference overall in which type of processor is cheaper. However, ISOs have more of an opportunity to be nimble and keep their cost structure down so can work on thinner margins than acquirers. This is particularly true for non-bank ISOs.\u00a0<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 1rem;\">What is more common is that there are payment processors that have a culture of aggressive sales teams and pricing methods, regardless if they are acquirers or ISOs. Unfortunately, aggressive pricing is common in the payments industry. This is why it&#8217;s ultra-important to look for a payment process with good values.<\/span><\/p><p>In our opinion, non-bank ISOs are the best providers of payment processing. They can work with multiple providers to offer best-of-breed products, can build their own innovative software on top of acquirers that further adds value, and they can have the nimbleness to offer exceptional customer service.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-64365c8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"64365c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Are you looking to start an ISO?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eba74dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eba74dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our leadership team has been in the payments business for many years.
