Acquiring
7.1 Acquirer Obligations and Activities
Each Payment Facilitator must regularly ensure that each of its
Sub-merchants is provided with all materials necessary to effect Transactions
in accordance with the Standards and to signify Maestro acceptance. These
materials may include sales slips, credit slips, terminals, authorization
services, Maestro acceptance decals, signage, and the like.
6. Sub-merchant Monitoring
Each Payment Facilitator must monitor on an ongoing basis the activity
and use of the Marks of each of its Sub-merchants for the purpose of
deterring fraudulent and other wrongful activity and to ensure ongoing
compliance with the Standards. For purposes of this Rule, the minimum
Merchant monitoring Standards set forth in this rulebook apply with respect
to Sub-merchants.
7. Sub-merchant Identification to Cardholders
Each Payment Facilitator must ensure that, if the Cardholder is linked to a
Payment Facilitator’s Web site from a Sub-merchant’s Web site for payment,
the name of the Payment Facilitator must appear in DE 43 (Card Acceptor
Name/Location), subfield 1 (Card Acceptor Name) in conjunction with
the name of the Sub-merchant. If the Cardholder accesses the Payment
Facilitator’s Web site directly, and its name is visible to the Cardholder
throughout the Transaction from selection of goods and/or services to the
completion of the checkout process, then the Payment Facilitator’s name
may appear in DE 43 without the name of the Sub-merchant.
7.1.4 ATM Owner Agreement
Each Acquirer must have a written agreement (the “ATM Owner Agreement”)
with the owner of every ATM from which it intends to acquire Transactions,
whether such Transactions are submitted to the Acquirer by the ATM owner,
or through a Service Provider acting for or on behalf of such Acquirer. If an
Acquirer uses an MSP, the Acquirer must itself execute a written agreement
directly with each ATM owner.
The ATM Owner Agreement must be updated as appropriate to reflect the
services provided by the ATM owner and may not contradict, or be inconsistent
with, the Standards.
The Acquirer must maintain the executed version of the ATM Owner Agreement
and must make it available to the Corporation upon request.
