Build More Than One-Time Earnings

Lifetime Monthly Residuals: Income From the Business You've Built

When qualifying merchants are connected to your role's activity, you earn your agreed share of the profits VMS earns from those merchants for as long as they remain active and continue using the applicable services.

That share is paid monthly. As more merchants become active, their residual contributions add together. There is no preset maximum on the residual income you can build.

Your Existing Residual Portfolio Doesn't Require New Production

You can stop generating new leads, selling, recruiting, coaching or referring at any time. Your already-earned residual rights do not disappear simply because you stop producing. There is no ongoing activity quota to maintain the qualifying residual income you've built.

Take time off or change your schedule. Qualifying active merchants continue contributing their monthly profit share.

Residual amounts reflect actual merchant profits and can fluctuate. Merchants may discontinue services. Qualifying relationships and profit shares follow the applicable agreement.

Know When You Get Paid

Weekly Commissions. Monthly Residuals and Bonuses.

Earn from qualifying activity today, while building a portfolio designed to produce income over time.

Commission Payday Every Friday

Weekly Commissions

Earned commissions are paid on Fridays, following the applicable weekly commission cycle.

Monthly Payday On or About the 28th

Residuals and Bonuses

Accrued monthly residual income and qualifying bonuses are paid monthly, on or about the 28th.

VMS offers additional earnings opportunities through eligible business products, technology, solutions, services and incentives beyond merchant payment processing.
