Anti-Scam Protection for Small Businesses

Share:

Merchants often feel scammed and often have complaints about the cost associated with accepting credit cards from there payment processor.

A payment processor is a company appointed by a merchant to handle credit card transactions, and is usually broken down into two types: front-end and back-end.

Front-end processors have connections to various card associations and supply authorization and settlement services to the merchant’s banks’. Back-end processors accept settlements from front-end processors and, move the money from the issuing cards bank to the merchant’s bank.

In an operation that will usually take a few seconds, the payment processor will both check the details received by forwarding them to the respective card’s bank or card association for verification, and also carry out a series of anti-fraud measures against the transaction.  Once the payment processor has received confirmation that the credit card details have been verified, the information will be relayed back via the payment gateway to the merchant, who will then complete the payment transaction. If verification is denied by the card association, the payment processor will relay the information to the merchant, who will then decline the transaction.
