Risk Management (M)

The Risk Management page allows you to review transactions that have been held due based on our risk analysis. Sub-merchants (merchants housed under your primary account) and transactions are analyzed for risk mitigation before approval, and non-compliant submissions trigger alerts that cause the merchant or transaction to be held pending approval. Note that held merchants will be unable to access portal functions, and held transactions will not be processed.

On the Risk Management page, you can view a downloadable list of held merchants or transactions, access details about their risk factors, and approve or reject them.

Tip: For more information on risk management, view the Using the Risk Management page.

Navigate to the Risk Management page by clicking Risk in the Admin category of the left-hand navigation panel.

To change the status of a transaction, click the THREE DOTS icon on the right side of the table. Select from the following:

Send to Reserve: Funds for the transaction are sent to a reserve balance for the merchant, either as a percentage or the total amount of the transaction. The reserve funds will be released at a later date following Risk monitoring.
Approve: Approve the transaction and release any held amounts from reserve.
Mark as Reviewed: indicate that you have reviewed the transaction but have not released it from being held.

To perform batch actions, click the CHECK BOX icon on the right side of the table to select the merchants, then click the BATCH ACTIONS button at the top of the table. You can select from the following actions: Send to Reserve, Approve, Mark as Reviewed, or Void Transaction.

To view a subset of transactions by status, click the status buttons at the top left-hand side of the table. Choose from Open, Reviewed, Approved, or Blocked.
