As a value-added reseller of merchant services and in partnership with the Card Brands, data security firms, and national Issuing Banks, MerchantSavers looks to educate its merchants on the basics of data security and the mandatory industry requirements around the protection of data throughout the payment transaction process.

PCI Data Security Standards
Customers and businesses using electronic forms of payment expect their cardholder data to be stored securely and privately. Visa's CISP (Cardholder Information Security Program) and MasterCard's SDP (Site Data Protection) programs are security initiatives that require merchants to safeguard card data. Visa and MasterCard, along with the other card brands, have adopted common industry security requirements referred to as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). (Learn More)

Fraud Prevention
Protecting our merchants from fraud is one of our top priorities due to the growth and development of online purchases. Consumers are very concerned about someone obtaining their credit, debit, or check card numbers, and with good reason. However, new fraud-protection services offered by MerchantSavers are helping to decrease the incidence of identity theft and credit card fraud. (Learn More)

Tips on Avoiding Chargebacks
Most chargeback situations arise at the point of transaction - at the time the transaction is completed - and most can be prevented with a little training. Point-of-sale staff (and in some cases, order-takers for card-not-present transactions) may find these tips helpful in avoiding potential chargebacks. (Learn More)

Strategies for Reducing Fraud
We take fraud seriously and look to consistently educate our merchants with ways to reduce these types of charges. Knowing how to reduce fraudulent charges and training your employees on these tips can save your business time and money. Our state-of-the-art systems already have fraud prevention in place, but with further business practices on your end, you will be able to have more strategic ways to protect yourself. (Learn More)
