How It Works
Understanding the platform economics model — how ISOs contribute, what they receive, and how aggregation creates enterprise value across the network.
The Revenue Model
ISOs contribute a percentage of their gross profit to the platform in exchange for shared services, technology, and infrastructure. The contribution rate depends on the tier selected.
Network Tier
Network tier ISOs bring ecosystem value through participation in revenue share programmes such as PCI compliance and lead exchange, with no platform contribution required.
Platform Tier
Platform tier ISOs contribute a share of their gross profit and receive access to the full suite of platform tools including compliance, technology, and operational support.
Platform & Equity Tier
Equity tier ISOs contribute a higher share of their gross profit and receive everything in Platform, plus the 2x GP Guarantee, Founder Pool Units, and a structured exit pathway.
The platform uses these contributions to fund shared services across the network: regulatory compliance, technology development, buying power negotiation, and central operations.
The Value Exchange
The platform is designed so that ISOs retain the vast majority of their gross profit, while a small contribution funds the shared infrastructure that benefits everyone.
ISOs Retain the Majority
ISOs keep the overwhelming majority of their gross profit across all tiers. Network tier ISOs retain everything. This ensures that joining the platform is accretive — ISOs gain more value than they contribute.
Platform Funds Shared Infrastructure
The platform's share funds shared compliance infrastructure, technology development, central operations, and the exit value mechanisms that benefit all participants.
Value Creation
Aggregation transforms fragmented ISO revenue into enterprise value — creating returns that would be impossible for any single ISO operating independently.
Combined GP at Multiple
Individual ISOs are typically valued at 1–2x revenue. By aggregating gross profit across the network, Valtura creates a combined figure that can be valued at an enterprise multiple of 4x or more.
Scale Economics
Shared compliance, technology, and operations reduce per-ISO costs significantly. As the network grows, the cost base is spread across more participants, improving margins for everyone.
Technology Investment
Platform-level technology investment — AI tools, broker platforms, compliance systems — is spread across the entire network, giving every ISO access to capabilities that would be prohibitively expensive individually.
Three Tier Structure
The platform offers three tiers designed to meet ISOs where they are, from zero-commitment network participation to full equity involvement.
Network Tier
Revenue share programmes with no platform contribution. Access PCI compliance revenue and lead exchange.
Platform Tier
Full platform tools and operational support. Streamline your ISO with shared technology and compliance infrastructure.
Platform & Equity Tier
Everything in Platform, plus 2x GP Guarantee, Founder Pool Units, and a structured path to exit value.
