Merchant Statement Analytics

Merchant Statement Extraction@2xManual merchant statement analysis is often complex, time-consuming and inefficient. Merchants look for credit card processors that offer the lowest effective rate. However, the ability to provide a competitive rate depends on an accurate analysis of each merchant’s transactions, including whether or not there were any chargebacks, previous fraud history and much more. This process typically involves reading, understanding and calculating thousands of diverse and nuanced transaction codes before making an informed business decision. Without the right tools in place, this process can take hours or days, allowing credit card processors to miss out on valuable information that can help them win prospective clients.
