Residuals are an ISO’s reason for operating, but they can also represent a major headache, especially as a portfolio grows and processor and agent relationships become more complex. As ISOs get bigger and bigger, the time and effort required to manually manage residuals data also skyrockets. Luckily, today’s payments technology solutions, like IRIS CRM, enable […]

Calculating residuals is one of the most important tasks ISOs perform each month because residuals represent the vast majority of revenues.

No matter how much an ISO owner or independent agent loves the payment processing game, eventually, the time will come to exit.

To register or to remain unregistered? That’s a decision every independent agent will be faced with at some point in their career, and it’s one with big implications, both for short-term operations, and the long-term prospects for everything from marketing to company structure to growth, and beyond. The million-dollar question is, “is it worth it?” […]

Merchant onboarding is one of the key functions your ISO’s team handles. Once an agent has recruited a new merchant and closed the deal with a signed MPA, it’s the boarding process that facilitates getting that merchant to a point where they’re actually processing transactions and, most importantly, earning your ISO residuals! That means handling […]
