What is the PayFac Model?

The PayFac model involves a primary entity, the Payment Facilitator, which manages multiple sub-merchants under its master merchant account. This setup simplifies the payment processing infrastructure by consolidating compliance, risk management, and settlement under a unified system.

In this model, the Payment facilitation platform takes the responsibility for vetting and onboarding sub-merchants, ensuring they meet compliance standards. This reduces the administrative burden on individual businesses and accelerates their ability to accept payments, making it a highly efficient system for both small and large enterprises.

What is the Impact of the PayFac Solution on Small Businesses?

This enables accepting payments almost immediately, accelerating their ability to generate revenue.

Additionally, the PayFac handles compliance and risk management, allowing small businesses to focus on growth without worrying about regulatory issues. This support can be crucial for startups and small enterprises looking to scale quickly while maintaining secure and efficient payment operations. Furthermore, it helps with lower transaction fees and improved cash flow due to faster settlement times.

What is the Difference Between a Traditional Merchant Account and a Sub-Merchant Account Under a PayFac?

A traditional merchant account is a direct agreement between a business and a bank or payment processor to handle card transactions. A sub-merchant account, on the other hand, is provided by a Payment Facilitator (PayFac) and is part of a master account managed by the PayFac.

Traditional merchant accounts require extensive setup, underwriting, and direct integration with processors.

This approach is ideal for smaller businesses or those with limited resources.
