Becoming a Registered ISO is a big decision for your business and not one to be taken lightly. It will require plenty of diligent work but can certainly take your business to the next level and help you grow.

These rules will vary depending on your business type but typically detail how profits and losses will be allocated between owners and when meetings can be called.
Your sponsor(s) will want to see a business plan before working with you. There are many different types of business plans.
Call around to different banks to request sponsorship. Start locally and visit their website first to ensure they are Visa or Mastercard association members.
For this step, you will need to gather all required documents for your business, obtain credit reports for all owners, and then analyze the bank contract thoroughly.
If the bank accepts your application, all that is left is to pay the registration fee. The fee is $5,000 per credit card association. You will be required to review your registration annually and pay the fee again each year.
