Risk and Security procedures

Liable Services Ltd provides a merchant risk assessment in several steps to assure the quality of each of the merchants. Prior to the acceptance of a merchant, the following standard procedures will be performed:

a) Pre Risk Procedures

• Merchant Application Form
  
  The merchant application form as the central pre risk tool will be submitted to the merchant by Liable Services Ltd. This form has to be completed by the merchant in order to collect all risk related information. In addition to merchant application data Liable Services Ltd collects company paperwork (e.g. certificate of incorporation, MAA, company’s utility bill, declaration letter etc.) for KYC purposes from the merchant.
  
  
• URL Check
  For each new merchant the risk department of Liable Services Ltd runs a risk assessment of all processing URLs. Hereunto a member of the risk department fills
  out the URL check journal of Liable Services Ltd, which is asking for the essential point of possible risk:
  1. Structure of the URL
  2. Policies
  3. Shipping
  4. Legality
  5. Support
