About the company
About ResidualMatch.
ResidualMatch is the marketplace for buying and selling payment businesses and merchant portfolios. We help owners understand value, connect with qualified buyers, and navigate transactions from initial valuation through closing.
ResidualMatch is not a broker-dealer, lender, registered investment advisor, or payment processor, and is not affiliated with Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, or any payment processor or acquiring bank.
Our Mission
Making it easier to buy and sell payment businesses.
ResidualMatch helps owners and buyers transact with better information and less friction. Most payment business and portfolio sales happen privately, with limited market data — so owners often start with the same questions.
- What is my payment portfolio worth?
- What drives valuation?
- Who are the most qualified buyers?
- How should I prepare for a successful transaction?
ResidualMatch answers them with valuation tools, original market research, and access to qualified buyers — so both sides can make better decisions and close better transactions.
