Common questions

About Merchant Acquiring.

How long does merchant acquiring onboarding take?
Usually days, not weeks, because we onboard under our Visa Payment Facilitator programme instead of running a full acquirer-side process for every merchant.
What are settlement times?
T+1 is standard. Faster settlement is available for higher-volume merchants — talk to us for the exact terms.
Do terminals support tipping and refunds?
Yes — both are built in, along with split payments, reprints and integrated app support.
