Develop and deploy payment facilitator models with end-to-end support
Payment Facilitator Accelerator supports robust growth within the acceptance network without additional risk. Mastercard’s PF-focused program has delivered results with millions of merchant locations onboarded across a diverse range of markets.
Founded in the early 2010’s as an e-commerce platform, the tech company was operating successfully in the market but needed to attract new customers to expand into new segments. Becoming a payment facilitator was a logical next step however, the client lacked the knowledge-base and required tools to make the shift. Mastercard provided global best practices through an educational workshop for business leaders, aligning their existing business plan with the technology needed to reach future aspirations.
Mastercard helped draft key policies and procedures for the program, providing additional support to help the company launch as a payment facilitator with two key bank sponsors. Within two years of the PF program launch, the company secured over $2 million from sponsored merchants.
Providing expertise to effectively manage, launch and enhance PF sponsorship programs
Through Payment Facilitator Accelerator, Mastercard is positioned to help acquirers sponsor PFs and companies to become a PF by sharing best practices, building policies and procedures and referring technology partners.
Leveraging leading practices combined with consulting resources, an acquiring bank developed a set of robust, updated policies and procedures to help with its relaunch as a payment facilitator sponsor. As a result, the bank expanded its PF partnership program, driving corresponding growth in the sponsored merchant base by over 2 million in the first 2 years.
