FT3 Partner Services

Build a new revenue line.
Without building anything new.

Your business is ready to enter new markets. But entity setup, banking, payments, compliance, and in-market presence are years of work and millions in cost you can’t justify. FT3 is already there. We extend your operation into the markets you want to enter — under your brand or ours. You serve the customers. We run the international plumbing.

Weeks
To revenue in a new market
Most clients are operational in weeks — not the 12–18 months of building it yourself.

Customers in new markets.
Without a new operation.

You have demand pulling you into a new market — customers, partners, or pressure. What you don’t have is the entity, banking, payments and in-market presence to capture it. FT3 is already operating in the markets you want to enter. Use us as your commercial extension.

International businesses entering the US
Your customers are American. Your prospects are American. But banks, processors and platforms keep filtering you out. FT3 is your US arm — entity, banking, payments, in-market commercial presence. You land. We make sure you stay landed.
US businesses expanding internationally
You’ve cracked the US. Brazil, Singapore, Amsterdam, Mexico are the next chapters. FT3 is your international arm — the local entity, the local bank, the local payment methods, the in-market sales channels and distribution partners. One playbook, every market.
Companies expanding to new corridors
One international operation already running. Now you need a second, and a third. Each market is its own setup. We’ve already built it — plug into our operational stack instead of repeating the painful build twice.

The deals that stall at onboarding.
Made bankable, then handed back.

A good client comes in. Then onboarding stalls — no US entity, banking not ready, KYC unclear. Underwriting can't get comfortable. The deal doesn't close.

That's the work FT3 does.

We're the readiness layer payments, payout, and banking providers refer clients to when those clients aren't quite onboarding-ready yet. Entity formation. Banking. KYB and KYC preparation. Compliance posture. We get the client through what your underwriting team needs to see — and back to you ready to transact.

We carry the complexity.
You keep the client.

The arrangement is reciprocal. You refer clients who are stuck on readiness. We get them live and route them back. No competing for the merchant relationship. No dilution of your account ownership. Just deals that close.

Built for acquirers, payout platforms, banking-as-a-service providers, and cross-border banks losing good business to onboarding friction.

Everything your operation needs
in market — without the build.

Each engagement is scoped to what your business actually needs. Some partners use FT3 for the full stack. Others plug in just the pieces they’re missing.

Entity & banking
US LLC/C-Corp or international entity. Banking opened, vetted, and seasoned with the right narrative for underwriting.
Payments infrastructure
Multi-acquirer, multi-currency, local payment methods that matter in your market. Treasury, FX and payout flows included.
Compliance & regulation
KYB, KYC, AML, tax nexus, cross-border data. The compliance story your regulator, bank and board need to see.
In-market commercial presence
Sales channel design, distribution partners, local commercial representation. The mechanics of revenue actually showing up.
Operational coordination
One accountable team across vendors, banks, regulators. Fraud and chargeback strategy integrated, not bolted on.
Strategic guidance
Operator-led decisions from people who’ve done this work — not analyst-led from people who’ve studied it. Under your brand or ours.

Conversation to live operation.
In weeks.

Discovery call

You bring the situation, we bring honest read. We tell you whether we can help, what it would look like, and what it would cost — before any work begins.

Scope & engagement

We agree on what you need us to run, which markets, what success looks like, and how we operate — under your brand or ours. Scope confirmed in writing.

Stand up the operation

Entity, banking, payments, compliance, commercial presence. The operational backbone goes live in weeks — coordinated end to end by one accountable team.

Serve customers, scale

You serve the customers in the new market, we keep the plumbing running. Reviews, optimization, and expansion to additional markets as you’re ready.

Common questions
from prospective partners

Have a more specific question? Book a discovery call with our team.

What does “commercial extension” actually mean? +
FT3 operates as your commercial arm in markets where we already have entity, banking, payments, partners and people. You bring the customers and the product; we handle the operational layer — entity, banking, payments, compliance, in-market sales support, distribution. Under your brand or ours, depending on what fits your business.
Is this a partnership or a service? +
Both, depending on the model. For most commercial extensions it’s a structured engagement — scoped scope, defined deliverables, clear economics. For PSPs, banks, and payout providers, it’s a reciprocal partner relationship. For ISVs and platforms, white-label or API. The discovery call clarifies which fits your situation.
How long does it take to be operational? +
Most commercial extensions go live in weeks, not months. Entity formation typically 7–21 days. Banking 2–6 weeks. Payment infrastructure ready alongside. Full commercial operation including in-market presence runs 4–12 weeks depending on scope and market. We give you a realistic timeline on the discovery call — not a sales pitch.
What does it cost? +
Engagements vary by scope, markets, and the depth of operational support you need. Entry-level engagements start around the FT3 Launch tier; full commercial extension engagements scope up from there. Every engagement starts with a free discovery call and a written scope and fee before any work begins. No surprises.
Will FT3 compete with my business for the customer? +
No. FT3 is the operational layer behind your business. Under white-label arrangements, your customers see your brand, not ours. Under co-branded or referral arrangements, we’re explicit about who owns the customer relationship. We protect the relationship — that’s the whole point of the model.
Which industries do you support? +
SaaS, fintech, marketplaces, digital media, online travel, B2B services, cross-border retail. Including complex, high-volume, and regulated industries. Cross-border and merchant models other providers reject are our sweet spot — we’ve operated across all of it.

Beyond commercial extension.

Some partners don’t need us to run their operation. They want to send business our way, or embed our capabilities into theirs. Two clean models.
