- Former ISO Owner, West Coast

"After selling our ISO to [Acquirer], the integration process was smoother than expected. Their team was professional throughout, and they honored all commitments made during negotiations. The key was having detailed documentation ready for due diligence."

- Credit Card Portfolio Seller, Southeast

"The portfolio sale took 6 months from initial contact to closing. [Acquirer] was transparent about their process and timeline. My advice: get multiple offers and don't rush the decision. The earnout structure made a significant difference in total value."

- Sales Agent, Midwest

"As a sales agent transitioning to a new acquirer, the cultural fit was just as important as the financial terms. [Acquirer] provided excellent training and support, making the transition seamless for both me and my merchants."
