Top 14 Causes Of Decline Of a Valid Credit Card
Many believe that if CC was decline, it means that it is not valid CC, although in most cases this happens for other reasons. If you use the checker, it will issue codes 00, 05, 51. And this means that the reasons for the decline are not related to the validity of the CC.
To better understand why this is happening, you need to know what a merchant account is. Most do not even know about its existence.
What is Merchant Account
Merchant account is a special transit account opened by a seller in a bank, which allows you to accept payments using bank cards. Opening a merchant account, the bank agrees to pay the seller for properly made purchases in exchange for withdrawing money from the accounts of buyers in issuing banks.
How to Get Merchant Account
In the US, a merchant account can be opened by absolutely any citizen for some time.
Unless of course he has the necessary documents for this.
There are a lot of companies that open to merchants; depending on this, the terms of payment by debit or credit cards differ.
