BOSTON, Massachusetts, July 6, 2026. 733Park, a boutique mergers and acquisitions advisory firm specializing in payments, fintech, SaaS, and AI companies, today announced that it advised Alipse Payments on its acquisition of ReliantPay, Inc., a Missouri-based independent sales organization (ISO) and payment processing business. The transaction signed and funded in June 2026. Terms were not disclosed. Read the official announcement on Business Wire.
What 733Park did on this deal
This was a buy-side advisory mandate. Alipse came to 733Park with a specific acquisition profile: an established ISO with a quality merchant processing portfolio and durable residual revenue. 733Park sourced the target through its AI-driven sourcing process, vetted the portfolio, and ran the process through diligence, structure, and a funded close. The acquisition brings ReliantPay's merchant processing portfolio, residual revenue streams, and related assets under Alipse.
“Alipse came to us knowing exactly the kind of merchant portfolio they wanted. Our job was to find it, pressure-test it, and close it on the right terms,” said Lane Gordon, CEO and Managing Director of 733Park. “That is what 25 years of payments M&A buys you. Whether it is an ISO, a merchant processing portfolio, or a payments software company, we know the buyers, we know the sellers, and 80 percent of the deals we take to market get done.”
“733Park ran a disciplined process and brought us a deal that fit. Lane and his team earned their seat at the table,” said Tom Sullivan of Alipse Payments.
Why buy-side advisory matters for acquirers of ISOs and merchant portfolios
Acquirers searching for ISOs, payment processors, or merchant processing portfolios face a thin, relationship-driven market where the best assets rarely get listed. A buy-side M&A advisor with deep payments relationships surfaces opportunities before they reach the open market, then pressure-tests attrition, residual quality, and contract terms before an acquirer commits. 733Park works across sell-side and buy-side mandates for companies with enterprise values from $2 million to $350 million.
