About The Payment Solutions Consultancy

Card acceptance is complex and a competitive business.  In many markets, there are too many acceptors competing for the same merchant MSV, sometimes being delivered with little regard for the increased exposure which comes with such a strategy.  Limited proposition differentiation can mean that price becomes the defining variable when chasing business leading to margin erosion at best and running negative contributing business at worst.  Combined with increased regulation and licensing requirements in many jurisdictions along with the proliferation of card type, for which acceptance solutions need to be developed and managed, means the cost base is also under pressure.

We also believe that deep subject matter expertise is at a premium.
