Keep your company, contracts, brand and autonomy. Gain access to shared infrastructure, scale economics, and participate in the group's future value.
Even strong ISOs struggle to scale because operating costs increase faster than the GP they generate.
Compliance, technology, and regulatory overhead continue to climb while margins compress from acquirer and terminal pricing pressure.
Increasing regulatory and risk oversight demands more resources while merchant expectations for technology and service rise rapidly.
Intensifying competition combined with fragmented systems makes it nearly impossible to achieve the scale economics needed to thrive.
Understand the platform model, how value is created, and what your journey to 2030 could look like.

Open Value CalculatorNo. You remain fully independent until the 2029 consolidation. There is no sale, merger, or acquisition. You keep your company, contracts, brand, team, and full autonomy throughout.
You can step away at any time with three months' notice. You keep your company, contracts, and portfolio with no penalties or clawbacks. However, you relinquish the 2x value floor and FPU participation.
You receive a guaranteed minimum value of 2x your highest trailing 12-month GP achieved between joining and exit. No discounting, no buyer negotiations, no clawbacks, no earn-outs.
FPUs give you a contribution-weighted share of the Founder Pool. They track your contribution to platform value and convert into equity at the 2029 consolidation. Value is realised at the 2030 capital event.
Valtura's commercial model is based on Gross Profit, not overhead or net profit. You are never penalised for investing in your team, growing capacity, or restructuring. Full details are covered in your personalised proposal.
Each founder receives their 2x protected value floor as capital proceeds, plus their contribution-weighted share of the Founder Pool. You can choose to continue (Sunrise Option) or exit fully (Sunset Option).

Building with the Best
Valtura partners with leading ISOs who share our vision for the future of independent payments.
"The 2x floor gives us genuine security while the FPU model means we directly benefit from collective growth. It's the best of both worlds."
James Mitchell
Founder, Payments Direct
"What convinced me was keeping full control. Same contracts, same team, same autonomy - just with platform-scale resources behind us."
Sarah Chen
CEO, MerchantFlow
"The shared compliance and tech stack alone saves us 40+ hours per month. That's time back for actually growing the business."
