A closer look

How acquiring works for Subscriptions.

Involuntary churn is the largest controllable revenue leak

For most subscription businesses, 4–7% of monthly recurring revenue evaporates not because subscribers chose to leave but because cards expired, were reissued, or hit transient soft declines. A disciplined account updater and BIN-aware retry strategy recovers the majority of that revenue automatically.

Tokenisation that survives reissue

We provision Visa and Mastercard network tokens at onboarding, so a card reissue does not invalidate your stored credential. For Amex and Discover we use card-account-updater feeds, refreshed weekly.

Dunning intelligence

Decline reason codes are not equal. A soft decline (insufficient funds, transaction not permitted) deserves a retry; a hard decline (lost/stolen, do-not-honour) does not. Our engine reads the response and acts accordingly, with optional merchant-branded email and SMS sequences.

Banking partners
