MasterCard Match List
The MasterCard Match list is a list that is developed by Mastercard to inform the credit card processor companies about the terminated merchant file. The match list gives information about the terminated merchants who are on the list due to the activity and the reason which brings them to the match list. The reason is actually fraudulent and illegal activities that bring the merchants into the list each reason has a separate code that is why the merchants are in the list. The merchants not aware that they are in terminated file list they will know about that when they will apply for a new merchant account. If you are the merchant who is not on the list then it is good but doesn’t do the activity that can bring you on the list because once you are getting into the list then the procedure to get off from the list is not easy it requires a lot of efforts to get off your name from the list.
