Whether your business is in the eCommerce, fintech, travel, or marketplace industry, your choice of payment infrastructure is far from a back-office decision – it will shape how quickly you grow. The right system can speed up settlements, improve transparency, and give you the flexibility to expand globally.
That’s why direct acquiring is the preferred model for ambitious companies that want fast, safe, and flexible global payment processing. Here are six ways working with a direct acquirer like Maayan can help you scale global payments and build long-term success.
1. Faster settlements keep your cash flows moving
Every business relies on cash flow, but in sectors like eCommerce or travel, the speed of settlement can make or break operations. When payments take too long to arrive, companies may struggle to cover inventory costs, issue timely refunds, or fund marketing campaigns.
Direct acquiring removes extra layers in the payment settlement process, ensuring funds reach businesses more quickly. For fast-moving industries, this fast access to revenue is a vital factor for both stability and growth.
Unlike processors that rely on multiple intermediaries, Maayan connects businesses straight to major card schemes as a principal member of Visa and Mastercard. The result is faster, more transparent, and more flexible payments.

2. Transparency gives you control over costs
When intermediaries are involved in global payment processing, businesses have far less visibility into transaction flows, settlement timing, and the true cost of processing. They may see costs rise without clear explanations, for example, or discover that reconciling reports across multiple systems is time-consuming and prone to error.
With a direct acquirer like Maayan, companies gain a clear view of exactly how transactions flow through the system. They can track fees, timelines, and volumes with precision. Finance teams benefit from simpler reconciliation, while decision-makers gain reliable data to shape long-term strategy.
3. Secure infrastructure supports your global reach
Expanding globally can be exciting – but it also comes with the challenge of navigating differing regulations, consumer preferences, and currency requirements across borders. To overcome these hurdles, a secure, reliable payment infrastructure is essential.
Direct acquiring solutions like Maayan build security and compliance into every step of the payment process. With cross-border compliance consistently maintained and robust fraud protection in place, businesses can expand confidently without exposing themselves to regulatory or financial risk.
4. Industry-specific functionality meets diverse business needs
Every industry has its own payment needs, and direct acquiring provides the flexibility to meet them. For example:
- eCommerce businesses can reduce checkout friction to improve conversion rates and boost customer satisfaction.
- Fintech companies can build innovative services on a robust, compliant foundation.
- Travel providers can handle high transaction volumes securely and at scale.
- Marketplaces and aggregators can manage complex revenue streams, including split payments and subscriptions, with less risk of disruption.
By aligning its acquiring solutions to the needs of different industries, Maayan ensures that payment processing enhances – rather than hinders – business operations for its clients.
5. Competitive pricing helps you keep costs under control and plan ahead
Controlling costs is critical in global payments, particularly for businesses processing high volumes or operating across multiple markets.
By removing unnecessary intermediaries, direct acquirers are able to offer lower transaction fees and provide clearer, more predictable pricing. This transparency allows businesses to plan growth with confidence and avoid hidden costs that can chip away at profitability.
Maayan delivers competitive pricing while providing enterprise-grade security, compliance, and reliability – offering tailored terms that align with your growth plans and market ambitions.
6. Dedicated customer service supports your long-term success
When it comes to sustaining growth in global payments, robust support from a provider is just as important as its technology or pricing. As well as providing dedicated assistance when issues arise, a credible direct acquirer will also offer guidance, troubleshooting, and strategic insight to help your business thrive as it navigates new markets.
Maayan provides dedicated, hands-on support that evolves with your business needs, ensuring you have a partner invested in your success – not just a provider of infrastructure. This combination of support, insight, and flexible services helps you focus on growth while maintaining secure, reliable global payment operations.
Why the right acquiring partner is critical for seamless global payments
Global expansion places demands on every part of a business, and payments are at the epicenter of that challenge. Choosing a direct acquirer is a strategic move with far-reaching implications for profitability, scalability, and long-term success.
The right partner should do far more than process transactions. Your direct acquirer should provide access, insight, and support that empowers your business to grow confidently in new markets. Maayan delivers on all of this through:
- Principal membership of Visa and Mastercard, offering direct access to the world’s leading card schemes with faster, more reliable transactions.
