PayFac-as-a-Service for Acquirers

Launch your platform play in months, not years

Your Merchants are being onboarded inside platforms you don’t connect to. Flowes gives you that platform on your own acquiring, live in months rather than a multi-year build with oversight of your entire book.

Build, buy or partner with a PayFac platform?

Partnering on PayFac-as-a-Service (PFaaS) is the fastest route to market, without committing years of roadmap to a build.

Go-to-market in months, not years

Launch on a Platform that is already live and certified, rather than adding another build to your product roadmap.

Reach Merchants where they already work

SMEs increasingly buy payments from their software providers - serve them without changing how you operate.

Keep partners as they grow

A partner can start on your licence and move to their own without leaving the Platform, or you.

Control risk and compliance

Every Merchant you sponsor is underwritten, screened and monitored to your risk appetite.

PLATFORM FEATURES

PFaaS Platform for Acquirers

Everything you need to operate as a PayFac on one Platform. No separate systems to build, buy or maintain.

Partner enablement

Onboard ISOs, ISVs and PayFacs, and let them onboard Merchants under your licence. You see every Merchant they add, and every decision made along the way.

Oversight across every partner

See how each PayFac on your licence is performing. Transaction monitoring, underwriting decisions and fund flows across every entity, in one view.

Pricing and onboarding you control

Build and update the onboarding flows your partners use and set the pricing they can offer, without ongoing development cycles.

Multi-entity support

Run Virtual PayFacs on your licence and sponsored PayFacs on their own, from the same Platform.

How PayFac-as-a-Service works for acquirers

Integrate into the Platform

Flowes is live today, PCI DSS Level 1 and already certified with the card schemes Integrate once, rather than building and certifying your own.

Set your risk appetite

Define the underwriting and monitoring rules every Merchant is checked against. 

Bring your clients onboard

The whole process is white-labelled so businesses deal with you directly. Meaning no disruption to their flow and a customer journey you control end-to-end.

Grow your book

Reach Merchants inside the software they already use, and scale on a Platform built to handle volume.
