It gets complicated. You could theoretically try it based on the BIN tables that the acquirer has, but a lot of the BINs are dirty and have a mix of product tiers

The most underappreciated foreshadowing of all time is Cain and Abel.

Cain, aka “the acquirer” and Abel, aka “mere vapour.”

Mir fallen da z.b. constallation Software, Lifco, Lagercrantz und ähnliche serial acquirer ein. Aber natürlich auch z.b. Visa und ähnliche Geldmaschinen

Party is split three ways so there's a lot of drawing time lately.

I like the idea that I was somehow a second-hand info acquirer from afar when I literally was on the site before public launch and knew most of the owners in some capacity

This is not true. The lender is a third party which provides additional capital which, when added to the equity provided by the acquirer, forms the total purchase price. That amount goes to the owner of the business.

If that’s not clear I am happy to explain further.

honda is the acquirer and id like to be romantic enough to think it was done bc honda is shrewd and their first EV sucks bc it's a rebadge from GM so honda decided it was easier to acquire nissan for their EV systems and their infiniti designers to add more luxury to acura — then dump the rest lol

That's an interesting list, my fave is "taxi acquirer outside of a nightclub" lol

Those are clear before the sale.

More insidious is the 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵 to "value" the business, but the acquirer can't maintain that value afterward, bogged in "compliance" and "security," and wanting to augment the main product which is likely 100x more revenue.

アメリカはカード発行者（issuer）と加盟店獲得＆決済代行者（acquirer）は別で、acquirerは銀行がやっているという仕組みの違いがおもしろかった　闇というか自民党政治は細かい稼ぎの人間の暮らしを守る気がないので動きが遅いんじゃないか

キャッシュレス決済便利！数秒が惜しい！という大都会の感覚は地方住みには薄いなあ...　個人店はそう混まないし、キャッシュレス可の店でも現金やりとりしつつちょっと世間話もして、という場面もよくある

最賃を物価に合わせて全国同一にして気軽に買い物できる手取りにするほうが最優先なんでは...

Pay‑by‑bank apps like Pay.UK’s Paym or bank‑initiated payments let customers settle tabs directly from their bank instantly and with minimal fee. For cover charges, events or booking deposits, using pay‑by‑bank apps avoids card acquirer fees.

Updated: 8/1/2025 4:18 p.m. ET: In a statement to Kotaku, a spokesperson for Valve said that while Mastercard did not communicate with it directly, concerns did come through payment processor and banking intermediaries. They said payment processors rejected Valve's current guidelines for moderating illegal content on Steam, citing Mastercard's Rule 5.12.7. "Mastercard did not communicate with Valve directly, despite our request to do so," Valve's statement sent over email to Kotaku reads. “Mastercard communicated with payment processors and their acquiring banks. Payment processors communicated this with Valve, and we replied by outlining Steam's policy since 2018 of attempting to distribute games that are legal for distribution. Payment processors rejected this, and specifically cited Mastercard's Rule 5.12.7 and risk to the Mastercard brand." Rule 5.12.7 states, “A Merchant must not submit to its Acquirer, and a Customer must not submit to the Interchange System, any Transaction that is illegal, or in the sole discretion of the Corporation, may damage the goodwill of the Corporation or reflect negatively on the Marks.” It goes on, “The sale of a product or service, including an image, which is patently offensive and lacks serious artistic value (such as, by way of example and not limitation, images of nonconsensual sexual behavior, sexual exploitation of a minor, nonconsensual mutilation of a person or body part, and bestiality), or any other material that the Corporation deems unacceptable to sell in connection with a Mark.” Violations of rule 5.12.7 can result in fines, audits, or companies being dropped by the payment processors.

Love this SBA tweak for add-ons. 🚨 As of 9/30 (Notice 5000-872764), the 7(a) “same geographic area” rule is gone. If acquirer + target share the same 6-digit NAICS, 100% financing can still qualify. Cleaner path for roll-ups across regions.

Bitcoin HODLer Metaplanet to Join MSCI Japan Index, Raises $26M to Buy More BTC
Metaplanet (3350), a Japanese bitcoin (BTC) acquirer, will be added to the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) Japan index at the end of Feb. 28, according to the firm's CEO Simon Gerovich. The MSCI index tracks mid-to-large-cap Japanese stocks, which serve as a key benchmark for institutional investors worldwide. As a result of inclusion, Metaplanet will benefit from increased exposure to global investment funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track MSCI indices.

@TheEconomist: Whether by fluke or design, Constellation Software’s dealmaking success is based on principles strikingly similar to Berkshire Hathaway’s.

This is how the Canadian firm turned into the world’s best acquirer of technology businesses https://t.co/hrRJQWZPaz 👇

I'll be featuring at the next Common Ground #poetry night - had great fun performing in chch for Late Night Poetry Hour last year, so I jumped at the chance when Hester invited me to read!

27th April, Sherpa Kai, Lyttelton. If you're in Ōtautahi or live around the hills I'd love to see you there 💌📚
An event poster for a poetry reading. The poster has an abstract pink and yellow background, resembling thin, high clouds at sunset, which is overlaid by a few blocks of text in white and black letters. The poster reads: "Hester Ullyart's Common Ground kā tūka toikupu spoken word sessions. Number 19 feat. special guests Niamh Hollis-Locke, Danielle O'halloran-Thyne, Jason Lockhorst (music), and open mic. Rātapu 27. 04. 2025, 7pm, Commoners Bar, Sherpa Kai, Ōhinehou (Lyttelton). Please note, masks are encouraged and provided for this month's event in support of immunocompromised persons, but it is not a necessary requirement for entry. Suggested koha $10-15." An author biography poster for a poetry event. The poster has an abstract background in soft dusky pinks and yellows, overlaid with black text on the right-hand side and a greyscale photograph of a person with long hair and glasses on the left (the author described in the biography). The poster reads: "Hester Ullyart's Common Ground sessions, number 19, featuring Niamh Hollis-Locke. Niamh Hollis-Locke is a poet, writer, and chronic hobby-acquirer normally based in Te Whanganui-a-tara. Niamh holds a BA in English Literature and History, a BA(Hons) (First Class) in English Literature, and a Master's degree in Creative Writing.

In 2023 she was shortlisted for the Ginkgo Prize* Best Landscape Poem Award, and between 2023 and 2024 she was the guest editor of Minarets (Compound Press). In 2025, Niamh was awarded a mentorship by the New Zealand Society of Authors to work toward the completion of a children's fantasy novel. *sister-award to the Laurel Prize."

A ton of the issues with the acquirer came down to the fact that, despite being one of the only acquirers to support fully online businesses, they weren't particularly tech savvy. There was a looooot of back-and-forth explaining things, as I recall.

Also: all the chargebacks came via fax (or […]

It's literally one of the few acquisitions that have actually mutually benefited both parties, instead of just unfairly benefitting the acquirer.
