ISO Equity Partnership Program

Ownership,
Not Just Residuals.

"At RedClay, we believe our partners shouldn't just generate volume — they should participate in the long-term enterprise value they help create."

The New Standard

Unlike traditional ISO relationships where compensation ends with residuals, RedClay offers select ISO partners the opportunity to earn equity ownership in the platform itself.

True Partnership Alignment

The Concept

Residuals + Equity

Participation in the equity program does not replace residual income. ISO partners continue to earn competitive residuals while also building ownership value.

The result is short-term cash flow paired with long-term wealth creation.

Program Mechanics

How Equity Is Earned

Equity is earned through performance-based milestones, not capital investment.

Volume & Quality

Sustained merchant volume and high portfolio quality are the foundation.

Profitability

Partners who optimize for profitable interchange management earn higher multiples.

Retention

Low attrition proves long-term value and stability of the book.

Strategic Growth

Opening new verticals or markets that contribute to platform expansion.

"If we sell, you sell. Same terms, same valuation, same exit."
