MenuHigh-Risk Merchant Payment Processing: How to work with ISO's offering card processing.
I am not a merchant payment services provider. I don't have time! However, I'm overwhelmed with inbound inquiries from high-risk merchants [CBD, online loans; especially payday...] I have direct relationships with ODFI's/Banks aggressively pursuing these lines of business. My Challenge? MANY ISO's approach me for intros to these banks and credit unions in order to serve their clients. After I make an introduction between the ISO and the bank, I'm left out in the cold. How do I earn perhaps 50 basis points+ for the millions of dollars in monthly transactions AND continue to receive a slice of future business that occurs between the ISO's and my banks? I'm really the conduit under my existing business model.

Setup your business as a pass through.
You run the transactions + charge a fee.
Likely, for the businesses you mention, they'd be happy to pay a premium fee... as you will be the only payment processor to accept their transactions.
Simply reach out to a high-risk processor and has them if they will pay you for referrals.

For you digital marketing / SEO / PPC guys out there, how do you bill your clients? Authorize.net or Quickbooks? Or something new on the market?
Authorize is my choice. Don't use them directly-- set up your own UI. Though, from a "millionaire" point of view you shouldn't be accepting CC for medium/large marketing jobs to begin with. Any firm with authority should be able to have a "check, money order, or transfer" policy. There are too many reasons not to do credit card. Anyway-- if you'd like some more advice regarding how to take your firm to the next level, let me know and set up a call.Ali MaadelatAM

How can I test payment models for an app without having a company to get an account with payment processors such as Stripe?
If you're asking about processing point-of-sale payments, have you considered using the smart phone tools available from Square, PayPal or QuickBooks? You don't need to have a formal business entity structure to use these. A sole proprietorship is a viable business model to conduct some sales and test payments.Scott VedderSV

Which Unsecured Credit Cards check either TransUnion or Equifax in their application process?
There's no way to guess about this, as checks will vary across time. For example, you might get a Barclay Apple card + they might check Transunion today + Experian tomorrow or both. There's no way you can form any conclusion about this, which will last more than a few days.David FavorDF

Some companies ask you to link your credit card to them so you can track your spending or get discounts by using the card. How do they do that?
Its a combination of the First Data Offerwise Platform and the CardSpring API. You need to get certified by First Data in order to get access to the datasets required to build a service like that.Dominic MeloDM
