Acquirer

The financial institution or payment provider that enables a merchant to accept card payments.

What it means

An acquirer, sometimes called a merchant acquirer, processes card payments for a business and moves approved funds through to merchant settlement.

Why it matters in travel

For travel businesses, the acquirer sits between customer card payments, settlement files, processing fees, refunds and reconciliation work.
