Most Payments RFPs Pick the Wrong Vendor.
Not because of bad options, because of a broken process. We built a free RFP template that structures the process the way it should be, so approval rates are comparable, pricing is transparent, and commercial terms don't catch you off guard.

Where Do Most
Payments RFPs Go Wrong?
Approval Rates
Aren't Comparable
Vendors quote from their best merchant mix. Your actual processing profile is a different number. You're comparing headlines, not outcomes.
Pricing is a Formula,
Not a Figure
Effective cost shifts with transaction mix, domestic vs international, debit vs credit, scheme fees, FX. A lower quoted rate can still cost more.
Commercial Terms
Go Unread
Settlement timelines, reserves, chargeback liability. Buried in annexures until you're locked in and there's a problem.
How Our Template Fixes
Your RFP Problems
Vendor Profile
Company viability, processing volume, regulatory standing, SLAs, existing agreements.
Product Questions
Gateway, auth & capture, tokenisation, 3DS, refunds, access control, security requirements.
Geographical Reach
Country-level coverage, local payment methods, network connections, auth rates by scheme.
Reporting & Settlement
File frequency, payout timing, chargeback reporting, merchant portal, fee analytics.
Pricing Grid
Itemised gateway and PSP fees, IC++ or blended, by payment method, built for comparison.
Scoring Guide
0-7 capability scale with criticality flags. So you weight what actually matters to you.
