So, if you are somewhere along the way to becoming either a full-fledged or a white-label payment facilitator, then the document is a must-read for you.

The white paper text is divided into parts. Each of them is dedicated to specific issues, regarding your transition to payment facilitator model. Introductory sections of the document define the PayFac concept and outline the differences between PayFacs, ISO, PSP, and other intermediary entities. Then the white paper sets forth the key steps preceding and following the underwriting of a PayFac by an acquiring bank. People often ask about the approximate cost of becoming a PayFac, so there is a separate section with the respective estimates of all the cost items, associated with PayFac model implementation. Finally, the document describes use cases of particular tasks a prospective payment facilitator has to deal with: legacy payment system replacement, supporting several processing platforms, EMV terminal solution implementation, and some others.

The original version of the document was published several years ago. Since then it was downloaded by hundreds of readers across the globe. The present update is intended to harmonize the white paper with other materials, prepared by United Thinkers team, and to bring it in line with United Thinkers' efforts on improvement of its offering for PayFacs. Primary target audiences of the white paper include (but are not limited to) large-size software vendors that decide to become payment facilitators; wholesale ISOs; investment companies; online marketplace owners; large corporations and holdings that need to consolidate processing volumes of their channel partners, affiliates, portfolio members, and departments under a unified payment platform.
