Frequently asked questions
Should we become a payfac?+
Only if volume, margin, and risk appetite justify it. Most start with payfac-lite.
How is risk allocated?+
Depends on the model. Payfac-lite splits it; full payfac takes it on.
Time to launch?+
60–120 days for referral/payfac-lite. Full payfac is much longer.
Migration later?+
Yes. Many platforms graduate models as volume grows.
