What is CardCorp's onboarding process?

Applying for a merchant account with CardCorp is a straightforward process. Here's what to expect.

1. Initial evaluation CardCorp begins with a review of your website and a basic eligibility check of your business model. This helps us identify the most suitable acquirers for your business and flag any issues early, so you can resolve them before a formal application is submitted.
2. Pre-vetting with acquirers Based on the initial evaluation, CardCorp pre-vets your business with a selection of acquirers. This step confirms likely eligibility and avoids unnecessary formal applications that may not succeed.
3. Onboarding portal Once pre-vetting is complete, you'll receive access to the CardCorp onboarding portal. Here you'll submit your business documentation and details, including your business registration documents, proof of identity, and any other documents required by the acquirer.
4. Forms and compliance documents You'll be asked to provide PCI compliance documentation or sign a PCI Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), and complete any acquirer-specific forms relevant to your business model. CardCorp will guide you through this step and prepare the PCI form for you.
5. Formal application CardCorp submits your completed application to the selected acquirers for underwriting and approval.
6. Contract signing Once your application is approved, you sign a contract directly with your acquirer. Your merchant account is then activated and ready to use. Remember that you can work on your integration with CardCorp's payment gateway in our test environment beforehand, so that you can start processing payments right away.
