Acquiring/
Issuing Banks

In the field of card payments, a distinction is made between two (2) types of banks, namely the issuing bank (issuer) and the acquiring bank (acquirer). The issuing bank (issuer) issues cards to consumers to enable them to make offline and online purchases. In the associated transaction flow of a purchase transaction, the issuing bank manages the authorization of the purchase amount. In case of disputes, the bank will mediate between the cardholder and the merchant. The acquiring bank (acquirer) is the merchant’s bank. It is the place where the merchant’s account for accepting card payments is located. Acquirers are usually connected to different payment gateways to scale the merchant’s acceptance business.

Common challenges of issuing and acquiring banks:

  • Staff cannot keep up with the inquiries.
  • No support coverage outside established business hours, usually only at some extent on the issuing side of the business.
  • Labor costs are high for menial or simple tasks.
  • Due diligence processes require experience and a smart scaling approach to handle a large number of applications in case of larger cardholder/merchant portfolio migrations or special promotion projects.
  • Lack of sufficient chargeback management support resources.
