SRM’s Acquirer Profitability Report explores how transaction-level analysis can help acquirers improve fee recovery, pricing, reconciliation and portfolio performance.
Merchant acquiring is a high-volume business where small economic differences compound quickly.
Scheme fees, settlement activity, and merchant performance are often managed as separate operational concerns. Together, they shape the economics of acquiring. When that activity is compressed into aggregated monthly reporting, leaders may see a variance without seeing the transactions, classifications, or merchant behaviours behind it.
Today’s acquiring leaders must account for:
- Complex scheme fees across products, channels, and geographies
- Under-recovered fees and gaps in merchant billing
- Transactions that are mispriced, mislabelled, or misclassified
- Settlement discrepancies that surface after the fact
- An incomplete view of performance across merchants and portfolios
SRM’s Acquirer Profitability Report examines why volume growth alone does not guarantee stronger returns. Join the waitlist to receive the report when it launches and explore how transaction-level analysis can support more informed decisions across fee recovery, reconciliation, pricing, and portfolio management.
