For acquirers & PSPs
An introducer for licensed payment partners.
Kleard is a payments introducer. We bring you vetted merchant flow — including businesses in complex and specialist verticals — hold the client relationship, and operate under our own brand as an introducer. You keep the licence, the underwriting decision and the regulated activity. We're looking for the right introducer, ISO or referral arrangement to do it under.
What Kleard brings
Introductions and relationship — so you can focus on the regulated service.
Kleard is built to be a clean, accountable referral channel. We do the front-of-funnel work and own the relationship; you do what only a licensed provider can.
Referrals & pipeline
A steady, brand-led channel of merchants actively looking for card acquiring.
The client relationship
Kleard holds and manages the merchant relationship, so it sits with one accountable counterparty rather than being spread thin.
Vertical access
Access to merchants in complex and specialist verticals — with suitability and coverage confirmed case by case, never assumed.
Pre-qualification
We commercially pre-qualify merchants for fit before referring — all KYC, onboarding and underwriting sit with you.
A single counterparty
One accountable partner to contract and work with, rather than managing many small introducers.
Clean separation of duties
Every regulated activity — processing, settlement, safeguarding — stays firmly with you, under your licence.
What we're asking for
An introducer, ISO or referral tier.
We're not seeking a licence, and we don't want to run onboarding or underwriting. We want to introduce merchants to your regulated products, under a defined arrangement — the kind of ISO, introducer or referral tier you already operate.
- A referral, ISO or introducer agreement — under your programme and rules
- You hold the licence and make every underwriting decision
- You process, settle and safeguard funds, end to end
- Kleard holds the merchant relationship and coordinates day to day
- Commercials agreed as an introducer — transparent and simple
How we work together
A simple, accountable arrangement.
- 01
Agree the arrangement
We set up the introducer, ISO or referral arrangement under your programme, rules and risk appetite.
- 02
Kleard refers
We scope and pre-qualify merchants, then refer the ones that fit — with the relationship held by Kleard.
- 03
You underwrite & board
You run onboarding, make the underwriting decision, and board the merchant under your licence.
- 04
You run it; we manage the relationship
You process and settle; Kleard stays the day-to-day point of contact for the merchant.
