Case Study: CardAq

CardAq, a UK-based fintech, had been partnering with DECTA for three years, initially using DECTA's Mastercard, Visa, UnionPay Acquiring and Issuing Processing services. As CardAq began to rapidly grow, they sought to broaden its acquiring services not only to Merchants, but also to Payment Service Providers (PSPs) and tap into a larger market. However, their payment gateway partner at the time did not have the necessary functionality ‘’partner account management’’ so they needed a quick and reliable white-label gateway solution. Impressed with the quality of DECTA's technical processing services, CardAq confidently embraced DECTA White Label Gateway as the ideal solution they had been seeking.

Within a remarkable four-week timeframe, DECTA swiftly deployed the fully featured and cloud-based white-label gateway solution for CardAq. The solution seamlessly integrated with CardAq's existing infrastructure and allowed for customizable branding to maintain their corporate identity. Moreover, the inclusion of the "partner accounts" feature in DECTA's white-label gateway solution proved to be a game-changer for CardAq's expansion into providing services to various segments - Merchants, PSPs, sales agents and marketplaces.

The partner accounts feature allows for dedicated sub-accounts, granting PSPs access to a tailored toolkit which then allows them to work directly with sub-Merchants. This toolkit enables PSPs to set permissions, manage data and payment flow, and delegate essential back-office tasks. By offering this dedicated toolkit, CardAq simplifies PSP operations, eliminates the need for PSPs to build their own infrastructure, and ensures a consistent experience for all sub-merchants. The streamlined onboarding process through a single integration point accelerates time-to-market for CardAq and PSPs, enabling rapid expansion and revenue generation.

With over 12 years of experience, CardAq is a leading UK-based fintech company offering professional acquiring solutions for low and medium-risk businesses. Their comprehensive FinTech tool empowers clients to accept and process transparent payments worldwide. In addition to acquiring services, CardAq supports fraud prevention, invoicing, virtual and physical card issuance, frictionless checkout experiences, financing, business spend management, and more.

DECTA's White Label Gateway solution empowered CardAq to extend their services to PSPs, agents and marketplaces, and drive rapid business growth. Within less than a month, DECTA delivered a fully featured, customizable solution that seamlessly aligned with CardAq's corporate style. Leveraging DECTA's technical expertise and efficient implementation process, CardAq successfully achieved their goals. By streamlining operations, offering scalability, and providing unwavering support, DECTA's solution has become an integral factor in CardAq's continued success.
