What is an ISO? | Merchant Services | Reuling and Associates Recruitment Firm | 630.446.0746

An ISO, or “Independent Sales Organization”, is an entity that acts as a middle man. ISOs help to formulate a bank or bank/processor alliance. Within this kind of arrangement, an ISO has an agreement to sell the services of the bank or bank/processor alliance, and is allowed to mark up the fees and sign up merchants.



Also known as a Member Service Provider (MSP), an ISO procures new merchant relationships for the specific bank. ISOs generally recruit Merchant Level Salespeople (MLS) to solicit merchants. The MLS are independent contractors who work for upfront commissions and the right to receive ongoing monthly residuals for the accounts they refer to the ISO.
