Industry Spotlight

Pioneer

“Pioneer is a SaaS solution owned by Settlement Data Systems, a Fintech software development company specializing in the merchant acquiring space. As a company created for ISOs by ISOs, Pioneer is the processor-agnostic platform that cuts the cost of merchant portfolio management and speeds back-office payments processing operations. Pioneer enables ISOs and acquiring banks to increase profits by eliminating expensive outside services.

Pioneer dares to reconsider the way business is done—and how money is lost. Pioneer seeks to help ISOs keep more of the money they earn by in-sourcing functions that are most commonly outsourced such as merchant funding, merchant statement generation, and split funding, to name a few. Pioneer replaces costly outside services with an easy-to-use account management dashboard so that your ISO business can stand out in the crowd of resellers.”
