Least-cost routing sends each card payment to the acquirer offering the best rate for that card scheme, instalment plan and amount, while also weighing settlement time. Tahsildar does this automatically on every transaction.

No. Tahsildar keeps your existing agreements in place and adds an orchestration layer on top, routing each transaction to the best acquirer.

Seconds, from the Tahsildar dashboard. No IT support is needed and changes take effect immediately. If you prefer, your operations account manager can make the change for you.

Most customers go live within 24 hours; timing may vary with your infrastructure. Your onboarding specialist manages the process end to end.

Any business working with two or more acquirers has room to optimise. The higher your transaction volume, the bigger the difference.

Tahsildar is integrated with 23 banks and 23 payment institutions in Türkiye. Routing runs across the acquirers you have agreements with.

The payment fails over automatically to the next-best acquirer under your rules. Tahsildar’s own infrastructure is also monitored 24/7, backed up automatically on a regular schedule and scales automatically with load at peak times.
