Introduction to eCommerce Merchant Underwriting
When assessing the risk of a business applying for a merchant account, what factors are most important? Are merchants simply approved or denied, or are there conditions and controls used to be able to underwrite a merchant? Do you know when and which credit controls are best used, or how requiring reserves or having a sales cap affects the potential pool of merchant clients?
These are all considerations when assessing the risk of a merchant and these are all topics covered in the Introduction to eCommerce Merchant Underwriting course. This training session teaches about the controls used to mitigate credit and fraud risk when underwriting eCommerce merchants and provides key formulas for calculating merchant risk metrics related to chargebacks, refunds and non-delivery.

MasterCard Reason Codes
MasterCard uses four-digit numbers for their chargeback reason codes, each beginning with 48 as the first two digits. Some acquirers, processors or PSPs may just provide the last two digits of the reason code in their data reporting, as that is all that is needed to distinguish between the reason codes and recognize the chargeback description.
MasterCard eliminated some reason codes while condensing or combining others in 2016. There are now 19 different reason codes and while MasterCard does not group or categorize these in a way like Visa disputes, we have organized these into four similar groups below.

For a merchant starting business, if they know about these training programs it would save them a lot of trouble down the road. Unfortunately many don’t learn about fraud until it is too late.

The training program is fantastic. You don’t have to download anything, it runs quickly and easily right on your web browser. You can pause and go back to write down or review information, play and navigate through the lessons seamlessly.

T. Hornbaker, eCommerce Certified Fraud Professional
With my experience I thought I would breeze through the training program with no problem, but I’m finding myself challenged in some aspects and learning things I haven’t seen before.
