Become a payment processing agent with Merchant1 Solutions. Sign merchants, earn a split of their residuals every month for as long as they process — no ceiling, no expiration. We provide the training, tools, and support. You own your book of business.
Every business that processes cards generates a small margin for the processor. As an agent, you earn a percentage of that margin every single month — for every merchant you sign — for as long as they stay on the platform.
This is called residual income. You do the work once to get the merchant approved and set up. Then every month, regardless of what else you're doing, a check (or ACH) hits your account based on how much your merchants processed.
Real example: A restaurant doing $40,000/month in card volume generates roughly $50–$80/month for you. Sign 20 restaurants and you're earning $1,000–$1,600/month passively — on top of whatever else you're doing.
| Portfolio Size | Avg Volume/Merchant | Est. Monthly Residual |
|---|---|---|
| 5 merchants | $20,000 | $300–$450/mo |
| 10 merchants | $25,000 | $750–$1,200/mo |
| 20 merchants | $30,000 | $1,800–$2,800/mo |
| 30 merchants | $35,000 | $3,500–$5,000/mo |
| 50 merchants | $40,000 | $7,000–$10,000/mo |
We're not a franchise. We're not a corp that doesn't care if you succeed. We're a small local team — your success is our success.
You get access to our full agent portal with training modules, scripts, product knowledge, and FAQ — everything you need to walk into a business and have a confident conversation.
Your own login to the M1S agent portal — track your merchants, access training, view your residuals, and generate proposals and pricing on the spot.
60% residual split standard. Top performers earn more. No gotchas — your split is transparent and you can see exactly what your merchants are generating.
You're not dealing with a regional manager or a corporate helpdesk. You text or call Emerson directly — questions answered fast, proposals quoted same day.
The merchants you sign are yours. They don't get reassigned. They don't get poached. As long as they're processing, they generate residuals for you.
South Texas and the border region are massively underserved. Eagle Pass, Del Rio, Laredo, Roma, Zapata — these markets have almost no local payment reps. First-mover advantage is real.
The best agents are people who already know local business owners and are comfortable having a conversation. Payment processing sells itself when you can show someone what they're paying vs. what they could save.
Fill out the form and Emerson will call you within 24 hours. No pressure — just a conversation about the opportunity and whether it's a good fit.
