Visa modified from the iPSP to just PSP in July 2011. We expanded to sponsor customers like @WePay, @Balanced& @Adyen and solved PayFac problems pioneering the “over the cap” 2 page merchant agreement and the FBO settlement accounts.
I've been teaching a class on the history of Payment Facilitation for years. @regulatorynerd impressed with your detective skills @peter - love the color. @Sean_Donovan remember when we came up with "PayFac" and got the marketing team to TM it!?

I joined @Sean_Donovan in ’09 when we were at Vantiv (now FIS) working with Government and Billpay customers that needed a new way to board merchants. We worked with our risk team to lobby MasterCard, who released the Payment Facilitator Rules in 2010.
