“Payroc becoming a full-stack acquirer is a game-changer for our merchants and partners,” said Jim Oberman, CEO of Payroc. “With PayiQ, we now own and operate an enhanced, fully-secure processing platform with direct network connections to all the major card brands. This acquisition sets a new standard for Payroc, further cementing us as the payments platform built for partners.”
Key Strategic Highlights
- Dedicated, Direct Network Back End: Payroc will now operate its own PCI-compliant processing core with direct connections to Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Discover, all key debit networks and clearing platforms. This reduces authorization failures and ensures predictable interchange.
- Cloud-Enabled Payment Services: Upon integration of PayiQ, Payroc will have a complete suite of value-added services: onboarding, risk assessment, chargeback management, agent residuals reconciliation, settlement reporting and more, delivered via API-first modules.
- Rapid Deployment and Seamless Integration for ISVs, Agents, Referral Partners and Merchants: PayiQ enables Payroc to accelerate the rollout of new products and services by owning the entire process.
- Security by Design: Built to meet the highest global standards and supported by annual secure code reviews and penetration tests.
Transaction Details
The acquisition is expected to close in Q3 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Upon closing, PayiQ’s team will join Payroc’s global development hubs to ensure seamless technology and go-to-market integration.
