Image via WikipediaOne of our inspection specialties is the Merchant Site Inspection. When a business wants to be able to accept credit cards as a form of payment from customers, or needs to have access to consumer credit reports, an application is submitted to a merchant acquiring bank or to a provider of consumer credit reports. The Merchant Site Inspection assists the bank or credit report provider in the preliminary assessment of a merchant account and in their efforts to mitigate the fraud and risk associated with the establishment of the account. Our inspectors are trained to verify the physical location of a business and validate appropriate and adequate inventory to conduct such business, while documenting important facts and information pertaining to the merchant’s acceptance of bankcards or access to consumer credit reports.
