Features

Compass Score

The G2 Compass Score indicates the likelihood that a merchant will incur a violation within the next year—the higher the score, the greater the possibility that a violation will occur. The score is returned in real-time and provides a simple, easy-to-analyze merchant risk rating to help speed the boarding process. This feature offers a granular view into the merchants’ data history, which allows for more informed boarding decisions.

Expert review

Receive a thorough review of the merchant’s website by a G2RS risk expert to identify any illegal or brand-damaging content. This includes content that violates the card network compliance programs, such as the Mastercard Business Risk Assessment and Mitigation Program (BRAM), Visa Global Brand Protection Program (GBPP) or content that violates your terms of service.

Automated KYC checks

Validate merchant-supplied information and uncover additional, pertinent details needed to make underwriting decisions. Automated KYC checks include on-demand website crawling, government and legal checks, reputational checks, and merchant analytics (ex. web server geolocation, address verification, and mapping).

Business policies inspection

G2RS risk analysts will retrieve the merchant’s business polices and validate business contact and address information. This involves a comparison of the business and address information provided by the merchant to that which is listed on the merchant’s website. In addition, we’ll evaluate any risk posed by the business policies displayed on the merchant’s website.

Service provider analysis

Verify whether the merchant website has data risk potential and whether PCI DSS-compliant service providers are in use. G2RS risk analysts will also test the merchant website to assess whether it is active or redirecting to another website and perform SSL checks in the merchant’s user registration and shopping cart processes.

Portal and API access

Submit merchant review requests and receive results through API or the user-friendly G2RS portal.
