    Question for all my lenders.

    I started using a new funding company to fund my deals.
    I sent them a deal they approved for X amount, i got signed contracts and everything. When they did the funding call they asked my merchant if my company was putting a fee and she said yes!
    He emailed me saying dead deal because i was putting a PSF which was only 5%.
    The lender emailed me saying your trying to F..k me on my money and putting the merchant and myself (the lender) on risk because i added my PSF.
    I told him are you new to this game EVERY COMPANY OUT THERE PUTS A PSF. I told him the merchant is well aware of our fees as well.

    I just wanna know if i'm wrong here or the lender is?

    As long as you Pre sold all fees and the merchant signed your authorization form your new funder is 100% wrong. If you aren't signed up over here, feel free to reach out to me.

    YES! I pre sold all the fees and the merchant agreed and was fine with it.
    I was literally going back and forth with the funder. i even told him drop your fees or do a no claw back policy and i wont charge fees.
    He felt stupid after and funded the deal.

    Most don't really care as long as it's presold and it doesn't put the deal at risk once it hits final. If it's not in your ISO agreement then yup you're right.

    thats 15% total fees taking what was probably a 1.49 to a 1.75. The bank charging 10 is crazy and you putting another 5 on top of that is total insanity.

    Does the ISO agreement state clearly no PSFs?
    And no, not "EVERYONE" charges PSFs.

    Depends on the funder. A lot of funders have it in their iso agreement that you can't put a psf on the deal. If its in the ISO agreement and you do it anyway, then they have every right to kill the deal. You just need to know your funders and what is allowed where.

    read your iso agreemnet carefully. One iso agreemnt i saw had, that if you charge a fee and the loan defaults you will be responsible for the whole payback . so if it is a 100k deal paying back 130k and you charge the guy only $500 and he goes bad , you will owe 130k . crazy

    which lender is this?

    Some like ECG will want to know the PSF amount so they can work it into the Debt service coverage model.

    I love brokers using PSFs because it’s just so easy to beat them when you compete. I’ll cut my commission to 0 to win a deal (because I know it will be eligible for a bonus for hitting funding amounts). But when I’m going up against a broker charging a PSF I don’t even have to downsell — my max commission will win the deal.

    I bet you clients love that as well. A sticky client is one that knows you fought for his deal.

    so 20% fees are ok because nano is doing there thing? NO, this is not ok. EVER

    also every time you write I ONLY put 5% fees I cringe. Using a PSF is ok depending on the deal and the situation and keeping it within reason.
    The fact that after a lender put 10% fees on the deal (which is insane), you then thought adding another 5% is ok, is crazy.

    Who else will fund your triple default trucking deal in Kansas that nobody else even bothered giving you an offer on?

    They take the risk, they deserve to get paid.
