Abstract
Methods and systems are presented for a supplier enrollment program in which suppliers who are not enrolled in a payment processing network such as Visa are aggregated, commercial data about them is obtained and appended to the data, and the resulting sales leads are distributed to acquirers. If the acquirer fails to sign up the supplier within a predetermined time limit, then the sales lead is pulled back from the acquirer and rotated to another acquirer to let the other acquirer attempt to sign up the supplier.
