Why Top Merchant Services Sales Professionals Thrive at Aces Payments

Updated: Feb 19

The merchant services industry is one of the most dynamic sectors, offering lucrative opportunities for sales professionals who are driven to succeed. However, it’s also an industry fraught with challenges that can derail even the most successful sales careers. Chief among these are the corporate buyouts and forced portfolio takeovers that many ISOs impose, often leaving sales reps with diminished earnings and uncertain futures.


At Aces Payments, we understand the realities of the merchant services landscape, and we’ve created a model designed to protect your income, portfolio, and career stability. Here’s why top-performing sales professionals in the industry are thriving at Aces—and why you should join them.





The Problem with Corporate Buyouts in Merchant Services


Corporate buyouts have become increasingly common in the merchant services industry. Large ISOs frequently sell their portfolios to bigger entities or private equity firms, prioritizing profit over the livelihoods of their sales teams. When this happens, sales reps often bear the brunt of the fallout, including:


  • Forced Buyouts of Portfolios: Many ISOs require sales reps to sell back their portfolios at rates that don’t reflect their true value. These buyouts strip reps of the long-term income they’ve worked hard to build.

  • Pay Structure Changes: After a buyout, compensation plans are often revised to favor the new owners, resulting in lower splits, reduced residuals, or additional fees.

  • Uncertainty for Retirement Plans: Residuals that were once seen as a stable source of retirement income suddenly disappear, leaving reps scrambling to rebuild their financial security.


For sales professionals, these changes can feel like betrayal—after years of hard work building portfolios, their income and retirement plans are upended without warning.


 

How Aces Payments Protects Your Portfolio and Your Future


At Aces Payments, we’ve built our business on a commitment to stability and integrity. Unlike many ISOs, we ensure that the portfolio you build remains yours—forever.


  • Vested Residuals: Your residuals are fully vested, meaning you retain ownership of your portfolio. Whether you’re actively selling or planning for retirement, your income is secure.

  • No Forced Buyouts: At Aces, you’ll never face the fear of having your portfolio taken away. We believe the residuals you’ve earned belong to you—not the company.

  • Stability in an Ever-Changing Industry: While others chase short-term profits through buyouts, we prioritize long-term relationships with our sales professionals and merchants.


This stability is a cornerstone of what makes Aces Payments a trusted partner for sales professionals looking to build lasting careers in merchant services.


 

A Compensation Structure That Rewards Your Efforts


In addition to protecting your portfolio, Aces offers one of the most competitive compensation structures in the industry.


  • Industry-Leading Splits: Our high splits ensure you earn what you deserve on every deal.

  • Generous Bonus Advances: We provide substantial bonus opportunities to help you maintain a strong cash flow as you grow your book of business.

  • Uncapped Earnings Potential: Unlike many ISOs, we don’t place limits on your success. Your hard work directly translates into financial rewards.


By combining this compensation model with our vested residuals program, we’ve created a system that rewards you in the short and long term.


 

A Culture of Autonomy for Merchant Services Professionals


Sales reps in merchant services don’t thrive under rigid systems and restrictive quotas. At Aces, we foster a culture of autonomy where you can take control of your career.


  • Set Your Own Goals: Forget arbitrary quotas. You define your success based on your unique aspirations.

  • Territorial Freedom: We don’t impose geographic restrictions, giving you the freedom to leverage your network and grow your portfolio.

  • Personalized Support: While you work independently, our Concierge Support team is always available to assist with onboarding merchants, troubleshooting issues, and providing compliance guidance.


This autonomy empowers you to operate like an entrepreneur while benefiting from the stability and support of a trusted partner.
