Introduction: The Hidden Power Behind Modern Payments Every time a customer swipes a card, your business could be losing money, simply because of how your payment infrastructure is set up. It’s a behind-the-scenes decision that most businesses overlook, but it can have a massive impact on your margins, control, and customer experience. At the heart of this decision are two key players: acquirer processors and independent sales organizations (ISOs). While both enable card payments, they operate very differently and only one puts your business fully in the driver's seat. In this blog post, we’ll dive into what an acquirer processor is, how it works behind the scenes, and why it offers a smarter, more scalable alternative to traditional ISOs for companies ready to take ownership of their payments infrastructure.

For the first time, you’re in control. The courts just changed the rules, and now you can decide how your iOS app gets paid. No more mandatory App Store fees. No more limitations. Finix gives you the tools to monetize on your terms. For too long, iOS developers have built innovative applications, only to see a third of their revenue go to Apple. Not anymore. Apple’s App Store Monopoly on Payments Just Cracked Wide Open On May 1, 2025, U.S. courts ruled that Apple can no longer force developers to exclusively use the App Store's in-app payments system. For the first time, iOS developers are free to choose a payment partner that puts them, not the platform, in control. This landmark decision marks a seismic shift in the app economy. For years, developers were boxed into Apple's payments infrastructure, often giving up 15–30% of their revenue to commissions. Now, you have a choice. And that’s where Finix comes in.

The world of convenience retail is fast-paced, hyper-competitive, and increasingly digital.

From enabling mobile orders kiosks to supporting in-store payments, Vroom needed a partner that could scale with its rapid growth and complex industry needs. That partner was Finix.

The iGaming industry has experienced rapid growth, fueled by rising mobile usage, increasing internet access, rising popularity of social gaming, and evolving regulations that support online gambling. However, one of the biggest friction points lagging behind player expectations is payout speed. Players expect fast and seamless access to their winnings, and lengthy withdrawal times can negatively impact customer satisfaction, hinder retention, and harm brand reputation. While many payment providers claim broad industry support, few are equipped to handle the unique complexities of high-risk verticals like online gaming—especially when it comes to offering instant or same-day payouts. In this blog, we explore why faster withdrawals are crucial for iGaming operators, the challenges of implementing them, and how payment platforms like Finix are redefining payout infrastructure to meet modern expectations.
