For PSPs & Acquirers · Violation Protection

Catch the violation
before the fine.

A distributed audit platform that registers with the merchants on your rails, tests their first-deposit handling, and returns evidence-grade proof of abuse - and audits the other direction too, checking whether your acquiring bank overcharges you on FX.

The exposure

When a merchant breaks your rules,
you carry the risk.

01

Unenforceable at scale

You contract the rules but cannot manually verify thousands of merchant funnels every day.

02

Abuse hides in routing

Merchants push restricted traffic through your terminals using their own routing logic.

03

You inherit the liability

Scheme penalties, monitoring programs and chargebacks fall on the acquirer, not the merchant.

04

Proof is the hard part

Even when abuse is suspected, building a defensible, documented case is slow and costly.

What you get

Not an alert. A case you can act on.

How it works

Is your acquiring bank overcharging you on FX?

01

Transact on your rails

Cross-border, as real volume

02

Capture FX applied

The acquirer's cross-border rate

03

ECB cross-check

Against the reference benchmark

04

Prove the pattern

Systematic markup over time

05

Reclaim from the acquirer

The real-rate refund applies

The same platform audits the other direction - benchmarking the FX your acquiring bank applies against the European Central Bank reference. Any systematic markup is documented as a recoverable, evidence-backed case.

Coverage

Audit cadence that closes every blind spot.

We test the merchants on your rails on a fixed cadence - daily coverage leaves no gap and proves first-deposit and routing integrity end to end.
