How to open
a merchant account?
Due diligence
The underwriting process is a necessary step to open a merchant account. Acquiring banks will always perform a due diligence to make sure that:
- Your business fits their risk policy
- Your website is compliant with the card scheme's rules
- Your company structure is acceptable
We, at eFlow Processing, will help you through the whole process. The first step is to fill out our precheck form. All submissions will be answered within 24 hours.
One of our payment experts will set-up a call with you and get to know your business. Then, you will be requested to provide KYC documents and fill out the application forms of our selected acquiring partners. This step is necessary to validate the KYC package and ensure compliancy.
The next step consists in addressing all potential concerns from the acquiring bank and apply the required changes on the website. It's called the compliancy review.
Contract
Next, you will be requested to sign the merchant agreement so the acquiring bank can issue the MIDs.
Integration
Last but not least, you will have to integrate your checkout page with the acquiring bank. This integration is often done through third-party technical gateways. eFlow Processing can help you to select the most appropriate technical solution.
