Refer merchants into the FDF compliance workflow from inside the portal
The module provides a structured referral path. Submit merchant details, track their compliance status, and earn a 50% share of the annual PCI fee.
Platform Module
Generate £6,250+/year in recurring revenue from your existing merchant book
Most ISOs treat PCI as an awkward compliance obligation. The PCI module turns it into a managed referral programme with Fraud Defence First — generating £6,250+/year from a 500-merchant book with just 25% non-compliant. New merchant referrals add cumulative revenue on top.
Without it, PCI sits as an undefined support problem nobody owns
Non-compliant merchants create risk and admin. A managed programme turns that cost into a recurring revenue stream.
500 merchants × 25% non-compliant × £100/yr × 50% share = £6,250+/year
Use the calculator to model your own merchant count and non-compliance rate. New merchant referrals at 20/month add cumulative revenue.
Referral statuses, statements, and revenue sit inside the portal
The programme stays visible alongside the rest of the ISO workflow — not split across email threads and external systems.

How It Works
From merchant referral to recurring revenue in 4 steps
01
Refer the merchant from inside the portal with full details
Submit merchant details into the FDF compliance process. No more verbal handoffs — the referral starts a visible, tracked workflow.
02
FDF manages the assessment and compliance path
Once referred, the merchant progresses through the managed compliance process. The ISO keeps full visibility inside the portal without owning the compliance work.
03
Track status: submitted, booked, in-assessment, compliant, renewal-due
The dashboard shows counts across every status. You can see the full pipeline and where merchants are in the compliance journey.
04
Review programme statements and track recurring revenue
Commission statements sit alongside the referral workflow. The ISO share of the annual PCI fee is visible and growing.
The Revenue
What the PCI calculator models with default inputs
£6,250+/year from existing non-compliant merchants
500 merchants × 25% non-compliant × £100 annual PCI fee × 50% ISO share = £6,250/year. This is recurring revenue from merchants already in your book.
Cumulative revenue from new referrals
20 new merchant referrals/month add cumulative PCI programme revenue over time. Use the calculator to model your own referral volume.
Calculate your PCI revenueReferral status visibility replaces guesswork
Leadership can see total referrals, pending assessments, compliant merchants, and renewal-due merchants at a glance — instead of relying on email updates.
PCI stops being a support burden
A managed programme with defined referral paths means PCI is no longer an undefined support problem sitting with sales or operations.
