If your ISO relationship feels like all excuses and no commitment, WSAA is a good place to talk about an upgrade.

Mentom Payments will exhibit at the 2026 Western Payments Conference from September 15–17 at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Desert, California. President Jordan Stewart, COO Dave Wilson, and SVP of Sales Alexis Lichterman will be available at Booth 223 throughout the event.

This year’s campaign asks a deliberately direct question: What has your ISO really done for you lately? It is playful, but the standard behind it is serious. Partners deserve responsive people, realistic placement conversations, competitive economics, and operating support that does not disappear after the first merchant is boarded.

A better partnership should create more options—not more excuses.

WSAA brings together the people closest to merchant acquiring: independent sales professionals, ISO leaders, processors, sponsor banks, technology providers, and the operational teams responsible for making those relationships work. For Mentom, that makes the conference less about collecting business cards and more about having useful conversations with operators.

At Booth 223, the Mentom team will discuss merchant placement, specialty verticals, pricing strategy, equipment programs, onboarding, portfolio support, and the technology required to move opportunities from introduction to activation with fewer dead ends.

The right model will not look the same for every partner. A focused referral relationship, a full ISO/Agent program, and a scalable white-label operation each require different economics, responsibilities, and infrastructure. Mentom’s role is to help identify the model that fits today—and support the path toward what comes next.

DID YOU KNOW?

Mentom’s partner bonuses have been WILD.

01

Six months of momentum

03

Five featured verticals

WHY IT MATTERSWe build incentives around real placement opportunities—giving partners another way to open doors, win merchants, and grow portfolio value.

Four useful conversations to bring to Booth 223.

The best conference meetings start with the real obstacle—not a rehearsed pitch. Bring the challenge your current relationship has not solved.

01

Portfolio friction

Talk through slow approvals, inconsistent communication, merchant-support gaps, or the operational drag limiting production.

02

Merchant mix

Discuss the industries, channels, ticket sizes, hardware needs, and risk characteristics shaping your pipeline.

03

Partner model

Compare referral, ISO/Agent, and Mentom Scale structures to identify the right level of control and support.

04

Growth infrastructure

Explore how lead flow, reporting, onboarding, service, and payment technology can support the next stage of the business.

Your rebound might just be an upgrade.

If you are attending WSAA 2026, stop by Booth 223 to meet Jordan, Dave, and Alexis. Whether you have one difficult merchant opportunity or a broader plan for your portfolio, the team is ready for a straightforward conversation about where Mentom can help.

Schedule time in advance or find us on the show floor. We will bring the payments perspective, the partner options, and—because it is Palm Desert—probably a little personality too.
