Acquiring Sponsor Banks: The Necessary Bridge to the Card Networks

  • Summary

  • In this episode, hosts Kevin & Elaina Smith are joined by special guest, Ken Musante, Founder and President of Napa Payments and Consulting. We explore the necessary relationship between acquiring sponsor banks and card payment processors, as well as how sponsor banks and independent sales organizations (ISOs) share different levels of responsibility and risk for the merchants they serve. We cover the game-changing role of automated tools in risk monitoring and underwriting as well as the vital importance of operational compatibility over mere cost in bank relationships. We also cover the kinds of things that can go wrong in sponsor bank relationships, how it affects the entities that do business with them, and what lessons can be gleaned from recent events.
