Reduce your cost of embedded payments
Clarity in payments economics, full control over customer pricing, and the flexibility to switch between programs at any time.
No gimmicks. Adding hidden fees or charging basis points for payouts is the industry's way of inflating your cost of payments.
Keep more of what you earn. Forward provides transparent payments revenue statements with each payment to your software platform.
Forward will never change the price of payments your customers pay without your direction. Avoid junk fees for your customers.

Commonly asked questions
Yes, our programs and pricing are designed to scale with your business. In every program use the same tech stack – to avoid future payment integrations and migrations. Simply choose the capabilities you want to bring in-house, when and leave the rest to us.
Our system was architected to enable SaaS platforms to migrate from Managed PFAC to a fully registered PFAC at any time. We have multiple PFACs on the platform today – when you elect to register and take compliance and risk in-house, you leverage Forward as a technology platform and we become a SaaS vendor to your payments business.
The ideal customer for Maximize benefits from our sales and marketing expertise to accelerate the speed at which their software customers adopt payments. Payments doesn’t sell itself, its confusing to customers and our team will communicate on your behalf. The simple math of payments is that it all comes down to adoption, not spread, not price (which can and will be optimized over time). If 90%+ of your customers are already using your payments offering, we recommend Rails.
Protect customers receive all of the technology, human expertise, and services included in Maximize, but want to limit their exposure to payments losses. Losses can take place in cases of fraud or when a customer goes out of business, and they receive a chargeback for goods or services that have not yet been provided. With this program, Forward takes on your loss liability.
The profile of your customers largely influences which program is right for your business. For example, do you serve a limited number of medium to large businesses, or do you serve thousands of very small customers? Another vector we evaluate is the industry you operate in (e.g. Government, Healthcare, Field Services, Non-Profit, etc), which influences the risk profile of transactions. Contact our team to learn more about how the programs apply to your industry.
