A BETTER WAY TO ONBOARD MERCHANTS

A complete onboarding workflow

Build a merchant risk profile before approval

Merchant onboarding starts with establishing who the merchant is and whether the business information provided reflects actual activity.

With Global Onboarding
Make confident decisions

Confirm what the merchant actually does

Application data and assigned categories do not always match real business activity. Verify the assigned merchant category aligns with the merchant’s actual business activity.

With MCC Verify
Classify-2

Expand the view beyond declared websites

A merchant may operate additional websites that were not included in the application. Identify undisclosed merchant websites and review evidence connecting them to the merchant.

With WebID
Detect hidden risk

Expose what may be hidden behind the storefront

Some websites are designed to appear legitimate while hiding the merchant’s true operation. Reveal signals that a merchant may be presenting a compliant storefront while concealing prohibited or misrepresented activity.

FAQs

How fast is onboarding?

Our verification systems work in real time, so you approve merchants in minutes, not days. Speed doesn’t mean cutting corners. We deliver accuracy at velocity, letting you compete for good merchants while staying compliant.

Does this support Mastercard MMP and Visa VARS?

Yes. G2 Risk Solutions was the first recognized Mastercard Merchant Monitoring Service Provider (MMSP). Global Onboarding supports Mastercard MMP requirements from the initial scan before the first transaction through 15-day remediation. It also supports Visa VARS onboarding requirements. WebID adds support for complete merchant data, and MCC Verify for product and MCC alignment. We help you stay ahead of compliance obligations before they become fines.

What does a Global Onboarding review include?

Global Onboarding brings everything into one review: merchant risk history using our proprietary Merchant Map® intelligence, content compliance, operational risk, watchlists, sanctions, PEP and legal records, consumer reviews and adverse media, and MCC accuracy. It combines merchant intelligence, website analysis, external data, AI-driven scoring, and expert review in one configurable workflow.

What is the Compass Score?

The Compass Score® brings every finding into one merchant risk summary. Component-level results, reason codes, and supporting evidence show which applications can move forward, need further review or remediation, or should be declined. Every approve, pend, or decline decision comes with a documented audit trail.

What about global coverage?

We operate across major markets worldwide. Our merchant data and verification capabilities span the geographies where your business operates, so you get consistent risk intelligence no matter where you onboard.
