ISO Loans - How RFC's loan work


Are you an ISO/MSP looking for funding because you have an opportunity to:

• Buy a portfolio at a advantageous discount?
• Buy out a partner?
• Open a profitable new sales office but lack the capital for the "upfront" costs?
• Hire some new sales reps to but lack the capital to attract them?
• Increase efficiency by buying new computer equipment?  
• Open a call center but lack the capital to do so?

Often, opportunities such as these, which can enable manyfold increases in business, present themselves to ISO's. However, equally as often ISOs can't take advantage of the opportunities because they can not obtain loans from traditional lending sources such as banks.

RFC was formed to fill this need.   RFC provides financing based on ISO Residuals.

For example: Say your Residuals amount to $40,000 per month. 
RFC typically can lend about 8x these monthly Residuals or $320,000.
The loan is repaid directly from your Residuals by your Processor.
Once the loan is repaid, the full Residuals revert back to you.  You benefit from the increased business AND

You do NOT have to sell off your Residuals! You still OWN them!
 

Diagram of RFC Residual-based working capital loan: 

Prior to the RFC loan, residuals are sent to you, usually via ACH, monthly from your Processor directly to your bank account (shown by arrow B). In return for the loan from RFC, you execute a Note and Assignment (shown at A) of your ISO/Processor contract to RFC and authorize the Processor, only for the term of the loan to pay to RFC’s bank account via ACH only RFC's debt service amount from your residuals (shown as arrow C). The balance of the monthly Residual continues to be paid normally to you. 

Once the loan is repaid,  the full monthly Residual amount is diverted back to the you. Thereafter, you again receive ALL your residuals. You have not had to sell off any merchants.
