Rapyd Expands Its Payment Partner Programme for Stronger Referrals
Rapyd, a global fintech platform, is rolling out a strategic upgrade to its Payment Partner Programme. The focus: help Referral Partners, Independent Sales Organizations (ISOs), Payment Facilitators (PayFacs), and Integrated Software Vendors (ISVs) unlock more revenue, faster. The programme speaks directly to the real-world hurdles these partners face—especially in high-potential areas like eCommerce, online gaming, and the fast-growing content creator economy—so they can win and keep more merchants.
Why dependable payments matter
In a digital-first economy, many businesses still struggle to find a card acquiring partner that shows up consistently—through approvals, operations, and support. Rapyd addresses that gap with solutions built for daily realities: accepting payments across regions, improving authorization rates, and putting robust fraud controls in place. The aim is simple: a smoother processing experience that helps partners and their merchants perform reliably at scale.
Built for high-opportunity markets
High-opportunity segments move billions in payments and come with equally high demands. Companies in these spaces wrestle with cross-border money movement, costly chargebacks, and strict compliance requirements. Rapyd’s integrated platform is designed for those pressures. Partners get access to advanced capabilities—like higher authorization success and multi-currency support—so they can compete globally without stitching together multiple providers or workflows.
What partners gain
By bringing collections and payouts together in one place, Rapyd helps merchants manage money flows with fewer handoffs and fewer unknowns. Partners also get an expanded Referral Programme with compelling commissions and recurring revenue, backed by around-the-clock support. The model is built to encourage steady growth and long-term relationships—yours with Rapyd, and your merchants’ with you.
Results partners can point to
One example: Alcaston, a UK-based consultancy specializing in payment solutions for niche markets. Since teaming up with Rapyd, Alcaston has grown its client base across high-opportunity sectors. As Delfina Toucon, a Payments Consultant at Alcaston, put it, "Partnering with Rapyd has helped us attract more clients across high-opportunity industries. Their transparent communications and reliable service build trust with our merchants."
Committed leadership, built-in support
Rapyd’s leadership underscores this partner-first approach. Arik Shtilman, CEO and Co-Founder of Rapyd, states, "High-opportunity industries have specific product and customer support needs. As a leading global payment platform, we help merchants manage collections and payouts, supporting cross-border transactions. Our partner-oriented approach ensures that Referral Partners, Consultants, ISOs, and PayFacs have the resources they require to thrive, even in complex markets. We are dedicated to their long-term success."
