Acquiring is broken,
Tuza is here to fix it
Tuza is here to fix it
Payments is in crisis. In the last five years, average margins have collapsed by 100%. In 2018, an acquirer typically earned 1% of every $1 processed, today it’s 0.2%. The cost of acquiring a customer now routinely exceeds their lifetime value.
This is bad news for acquirers, and bad news for merchants who face providers no longer incentivised to meet their needs. Card acquiring for SMB is facing a foundational risk. At Tuza, we're uniquely positioned to have this view. Since launching we've had billions in volume from tens of thousands of merchants use our platform to find their next acquiring contract.
Tuza responds to this challenge by digitising go-to-market for payments. Today, we enable the largest global acquirers go to market digitally by using Tuza for Providers, our solution for digital pricing, distribution and boarding.
In 2024, 93% of payments contracts were sold on the phone or in-person. In 2025, Tuza for Providers is radically changing that, enabling merchants to access payments products the way they always expected to: instantly and online.
