I completely agree. It has to make a funding bank more comfortable when an ISO says they will put up X amount into a deal. Most of the time ISO's are calling for an exception, now if they put money into the deal i.e. take risk it should and does help get deals done

This is squeezing out the mom and pop ISOs who are not capitalized well enough to participate. A wave of industry consolidation has already started.
