Experience with acquirers that have direct Visa and Mastercard integration?
Our small online store is looking at switching acquirers because fees keep creeping up and payouts take several days. Has anyone here worked with a provider that has direct card scheme integration? Curious how it holds up in practice.

I looked into this a few months ago for a similar reason. We tested Sends for a while, mostly because of the direct integration with Visa and Mastercard, which should mean fewer intermediaries and more stable transactions. Payouts arrived on the same day, including once over a weekend, which was the main thing I wanted to check. Fees are IC++ starting from 1.2%, though the actual rate depends on volume and card mix. Their page on card payment processing lists the basic terms if you want to compare. Support works 24/7 and the few answers I got were clear. Too early for firm conclusions, but no complaints so far.
