Drive Success & Global Growth with Rapyd Payment Solutions
Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs) looking to grow need more than just ambition; they need the right partner. Rapyd helps ISOs expand into new international markets, boost merchant success with local acquiring and significantly better approval rates, and simplify global operations through a single payment platform. By partnering with Rapyd, ISOs can achieve sustainable, value-driven growth while focusing on their core strengths.
Expand Your Reach: Growing Into New Markets
Today ISOs must look beyond borders and tap into new opportunities. Expanding into new territories allows ISOs to offer more to their merchants. As Sarel Tal, Vice-President of Acquiring Partnerships at Rapyd, emphasised at WSAA, “Though international expansion may seem daunting, it is possible to take small steps through a referral partnership or a partnership with a larger ISO to grow your footprint.” With Rapyd’s global payment platform and multiple global acquiring licences, ISOs can support their merchants in expanding their businesses, unlocking new revenue streams and driving growth in emerging markets.
Benefits for Merchants: Lower Acquiring Rates & Better Approval Rates
One of the big advantages of partnering with Rapyd is access to lower local acquiring rates and improved approval rates for merchants. These benefits can be game-changing, particularly for merchants entering new markets where cross-border transaction costs and approval rates can vary. “By leveraging Rapyd’s global acquiring network, ISOs can offer their merchants better rates and higher approvals,” Sarel explained. By improving the processing relationship, merchant satisfaction grows, positioning ISOs as valuable partners who provide real, tangible benefits to businesses.
Increase in Processing Volumes & Merchant Base
When ISOs help their merchants move into new markets, the impact is felt in processing volumes, operational efficiency and business growth. As merchants expand, they naturally process more transactions, leading to increased volumes for the ISO. With Rapyd, merchants can process and settle payments in local currencies, offering faster and more efficient settlements with competitive FX rates, which is key for global expansion. Additionally, Rapyd’s integrated RDR (Real-time Dispute Resolution) solutions help reduce chargebacks, ensuring smoother operations and fewer financial disruptions. Whether merchants are operating in-store with POS systems or online through eCommerce, Rapyd’s platform supports both, allowing ISOs to grow their merchant base across multiple channels seamlessly. “When merchants see success, ISOs benefit from increased volumes and a growing base of satisfied clients. It’s a win-win,” Sarel noted. Rapyd enables ISOs to focus on scaling their business without the complexities of managing multiple providers, offering comprehensive global payment solutions.
Choosing the Right Partner: Scalability & Operational Efficiency
A payment partner can make or break an ISO’s ability to scale efficiently. Selecting a partner that supports multiple regions under one platform simplifies operations. “As an ISO, it’s vital to choose a partner like Rapyd that can handle your payment needs across different markets. This not only streamlines your operations but also allows you to focus on strategic growth,” Sarel advised during the panel. Rapyd’s payment solutions provide ISOs with the tools they need to expand without the hassle of coordinating with multiple providers, enabling smoother operations and more sustainable growth.
Sarel advised businesses to, “Keep the original vision for your company, but be open to the right change at the right time.”
Rapyd Is The Right Partner
Value-driven growth is about more than just expanding territories—it’s about choosing the right partner to support sustainable and scalable business strategies. By partnering with Rapyd, ISOs can offer their merchants lower costs, better approval rates and seamless global payment solutions. This enhances merchant satisfaction and drives increased processing volumes and a growing merchant base for the ISO. As Sarel Tal put it, “Success in today’s market is about providing value, maintaining strong partnerships, and always thinking ahead.”
