Top Dollar Paid for Your Merchant Portfolio or Residuals

What is a bankcard residual, merchant residual or merchant portfolio?


A bankcard residual is a collection of merchant accounts, or businesses, which are accepting credit or debit card payments for their products or services. Any business which accepts credit or debit payments, whether online payments or card payments in person are referred to as merchants, by payment processors and payment ISOs (wholesalers between the payment processor and the merchant). As a payment processor or ISO grows, it refers to its book of business, the collection of merchant accounts that process with them, as their merchant portfolio or residual. Agents and others call the monthly revenue from their merchant portfolio a residual or bankcard residual or even a merchant residual.

How much is my residual worth?


Generally speaking, the larger the residual, the higher the multiple paid. Merchant portfolios or residuals greater than $100k a month get a higher multiple than those significantly smaller, and merchant portfolios greater than $1M a month get even better multiples.

Residuals For Sale

Other factors that influence a valuation include:
 

  • Account Attrition

       
       Account attrition is due to either businesses
       closing or leaving the agent, ISO or process or
       because they’ve found a better deal or another
       payment processing relationship


  • Revenue Attrition

    Revenue attrition is due to either merchants business declining, or merchants leaving the agent’s or ISO’s portfolio for a variety of reasons.

  • Portability (whether or not the payment company owns the merchant agreement and can repoint them to another processor or if they just have the merchant residual stream)

  • Type of Merchant (MCC or SIC code)

  • Whether or not the transaction is ecommerce or card present

  • Whether or not future production of merchant accounts comes along with the purchase of the merchant portfolio

I don’t know anything about the legal side of residual sales. What do I do?


We can give you business guidance on residual and portfolio sales. If you need legal advice, we are happy to connect you with payments industry attorneys for legal guidance or to answer any legal concerns. The typical residual or portfolio sale involves triggering the processor or ISO’s first right of refusal.


Typically, they have anywhere from 1-2 weeks to match the offer that’s on the table or to pass on the deal. You definitely don’t want to trigger a first right of refusal with an offer that’s too low, because the processor or ISO will just take the deal at that price. 

Why shouldn’t I sell it myself?


If you’re selling a merchant portfolio, that’s because you’ve built an ISO or a payments company or some other entity that owns merchant accounts. You’re successful at building those things, and you may be a great salesman as well -- but our team knows the market inside-out and can put you in contact with buyers you wouldn’t find otherwise. We’re professionals in selling ISOs, payments companies and merchant portfolios. Let us take the reins and show you the difference a professional seller can make.


We understand what goes into a valuation and how to maximize your portfolio’s potential in the marketplace. We run an auction style process, seeking to get you the highest price and the best terms. Generally, our team is able to add 12%-18% lift to transactions. If you sell it directly, rest assured, you’re leaving chips on the table.
