Merchant risk management encompasses the comprehensive framework financial institutions use to identify, assess, and mitigate risks associated with payment processing relationships. This extends beyond simple fraud detection to include compliance verification, chargeback prevention, and ongoing monitoring of merchant behavior patterns across multiple channels and jurisdictions.
The framework operates across several critical dimensions:

• Verifying merchant legitimacy through Know Your Business (KYB) processes
• Monitoring transaction patterns for suspicious activity
• Ensuring adherence to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations
• Maintaining merchant account stability through proactive risk assessment

Modern merchant risk management integrates these elements into a unified system that can process decisions in real-time while maintaining audit trails for regulatory compliance.
