KYC Portal (KYCP) has introduced a new integration with Mastercard MATCH Pro, enhancing merchant due diligence within its Client Lifecycle Management (CLM) platform.
Delivered via KYCP’s Data Service Integration (DSI) module, the update allows financial institutions and regulated entities to assess high-risk merchants directly inside the platform, reducing reliance on multiple external systems.
The DSI module connects KYCP users to trusted third-party data sources, automatically mapping responses into internal workflows. With MATCH Pro embedded, merchant risk data can be queried in real time, stored within the central client record and used to trigger automated risk-based actions.
Mastercard Alert To Control High-risk Merchants (MATCH™) Pro enables authorised users to review enhanced merchant risk information before entering into a Merchant Agreement or Sponsored Merchant Agreement. By incorporating MATCH checks directly into KYCP, firms can perform independent risk assessments without leaving their existing compliance environment.
Users can initiate a MATCH Pro search within KYCP using a dedicated integration function. Results relating to the merchant, principal owners and associated outlets are displayed directly in the system. All data points are automatically mapped to KYCP fields, with matched data clearly highlighted. Once a match is set, the system stores the data and match status in the database, supporting audit trails and future reviews.
KYCP’s roadmap includes similar integrations with American Express, aiming to give organisations consolidated oversight of merchant risk across major card schemes within a single RegTech platform.
