      Certegy Payment Solutions, LLC Response

      11/05/2024

      Certegy Payment Solutions, LLC (Certegy) is a specialty consumer reporting agency that provides subscribing merchants with recommendations for payment acceptance at their request.  To protect both consumers and retailers against losses from fraudulent or returned checks or Automated Clearing House transactions (collectively, Payments), in addition to maintaining a file of unpaid returned Payments, Certegy has developed an automated system that predicts the likelihood of these outcomes in connection with a particular Payment. Payment authorization is not an extension of credit. Since most merchants do not verify whether funds are available prior to cashing a check or accepting one as a form of payment, they may use our system to analyze the transaction for potential risk factors including, but not limited to, location, check writing and cashing history, check number, and amount. Our response provides the merchant with a recommendation as to whether or not the Payment is likely to be returned. It is then up to the merchant to determine whether they wish to take the risk of accepting the Payment. This service enables many of our clients to continue to offer Payments and check cashing options that might not otherwise be available without protection from exposure to potential losses.
      You have filed a BBB Customer Review. For assistance with your specific matter, you may contact Certegys ************************ at ************ or choose to file a BBB Complaint. Once Certegy receives the details of your complaint, including your identifiers, such as drivers license and financial institution routing and account number, we will investigate and provide a timely response.
