For the longest time, traditional valuation methods have been standard in the sale of merchant portfolios. Any modern seller, including ISOs, knows the conventional methods leave money on the table. The methods focus on static and oversimplified assumptions, relying heavily on historical data and often negating non-financial influences on portfolio performance. To put it bluntly, with advancements in technology, traditional valuation models for merchant portfolios don’t cut it.
