CAAP/CAAP II

Cardservice International measures its success by the success of its agents. This is why we are committed to a mutually valued and profitable relationship. The Cardservice^® Agent Alliance Program (CAAP) is driven by this commitment. CAAP is a significant business opportunity that has outstanding profit potential for agents who sign up with CSI.

In addition to Cardservice Internationals industry competitive revenue share program, CAAP has been specifically developed to increase agent gains from their existing revenue streams and to build even more profitable businesses.

CAAP II, an enhanced version of CAAP, is a two-tiered program that provides additional avenues for profit.

RAP

The Referral Agent Partner (RAP) program offers sales agents the opportunity to operate as nonexclusive licensees with independent offices.

RAP agents have the freedom to hire, train and maintain their own team of professional sales representatives. RAP is a profitable option for agents to start using CSI as a way to determine if the Cardservice® Agent Alliance Program (CAAP) or our independent sales organization (ISO) program is the right fit for their businesses as they grow.

Agent/ISO Program

Cardservice supports the First Data^® ISO/Agent Program representing five distinct revenue opportunities to help agents and independent sales organizations (ISOs) expand their merchant base and increase their business profits.

The First Data^® ISO/Agent Program encompasses five revenue opportunities that have helped agents and independent sales organizations (ISOs) significantly increase their business profits. The programs are as follows:

Cardservice Agent Alliance Program (CAAP) — CAAP supports all back-office functions, including underwriting, risk management and marketing. Whats more, CAAP delivers a significant clearing bank opportunity through Wells Fargo, and assumes 100 percent of merchant processing risk. Backed by CSI, CAAP agents can offer their merchants a broader array of competitively priced products and services

Referral Agent Partner (RAP) — The RAP program offers sales agents the opportunity to operate as nonexclusive licensees with independent offices, along with the freedom to hire, train and maintain their own team of professional sales representatives. RAP is a profitable option for agents to start using CSI as a means to determine if any of the other ISO Program options are a right fit as their businesses grow.

Retail FACS — First Data assumes 100 percent risk of an agent's entire merchant portfolio and performs all underwriting and risk management functions.

Wholesale FACS-This program is ideal for ISOs that already manage their own risk and underwriting, but don't have the means to acquire and maintain a banking clearinghouse relationship. With an established platform to work from, and a sponsoring member clearing bank, we allow these ISOs to maintain their business-as-usual approach, while significantly enhancing their payment processing capabilities.

Full Service Processing — Perfect for larger ISOs that have already established solid relationships with sponsor and settlement banks, but need the stability of an experienced payment processor.
