I'd love some insight into the understanding here.
Hey Micah,

Absolutely! The math isn’t quite “almost no merchant” pays off early but it is a lot less that suggest they will in the sales process. We want to provide to a product that a merchant can say “yes” to.

We’ve taken some losses on the program already after paying an ISO 6 points and the merchant paying us off after a large receivable comes in or inventory flips quickly after 3 or 4 payments. We will never ask for the 6 points back and will pay more if/when the deal goes to term (and most will).

I don’t know of a better prepay option in the market but know it is getting us market share.
