Merchant Account
• A merchant account refers to a special types of bank account used by the businesses to
accept payment from their customers.
Money can not be deposited into, or withdrawn from, by the business whose name the account is.
Accept payments electronically, holding the funds typically for a few days before transferring them
to the business’ regular bank account.
• By holding the funds for a short period, merchant accounts help reduce fraud:
The merchant doesn’t want to give the money back.

• PSPs provide both a merchant account (of their own or have relationships with banks that
enable them to help businesses open a merchant account with a bank) and a payment
gateway, ensuring that businesses can collect and manage their payments in a simple and
efficient way.
Payment Gateway
• A payment gateway is a software that securely validates customer's card details, ensuring
funds are available to get paid.
• The payment gateway offers the services that authorize card payments for businesses.
It facilitates the transfer of a customer’s card details from a merchant’s website to a payment
processor.
The payment gateway tells the merchant whether the charge has been approved by the
cardholder’s bank and submits charges for settlement.

3D Secure
• 3D Secure (3-domain structure), also known as a payer authentication, is a security
protocol that helps to prevent fraud in online credit and debit card transactions.
• This additional security was initiated and created by Visa and MasterCard and it’s branded
as ‘Verified by Visa’ and ‘MasterCard SecureCode’ respectively.
• The payer authentication is a three-part process, so there are three parties involved in the
process:
Issuer (such as Visa or MasterCard)
Acquirer (Merchant and the Bank to which money is being paid)
Interoperability Domain (Payment System)

Working of 3D Secure
• When the customer uses the card that is enrolled in the 3D Secure program, the process
looks as follows:
1. The customer enters his/her credit or debit card information in the payment form.
2. SecurionPay contacts a directory server and gets the message that the card is registered in the
program.
3. The customer sees the 3D Secure page where they need to authenticate themselves to the
issuing bank by entering the password or a one time PIN.
4. The result of the 3D Secure authentication goes to SecurionPay and then the transaction details
are submitted to the acquiring bank.
6. The customer can see the response about whether the transaction is successful or failed.

• The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is the set of rules that makes
sure that every transaction is safe and no data is lost.
• The PCI DSS has set up 12 rules (categorized into 6 objectives) for compliance:
1. Build secure network and systems and maintain it as well.
2. Protect the data of the cardholder.
3. Create a vulnerability management program.
4. Implement strong access control measures.
5. Monitor and test networks on a regular basis.
6. Maintain an information security policy.

Clearing and Settlement - It facilitates carrying out of actual inter-bank transactions. In settlement
process, transactions with authorization codes are sent to the payment processor for payment to
the merchant.
Note: Before authorization, authentication process is performed to confirm a cardholder’s identity. This stage verifies
whether the card number is correct or not as well as if the customer making the transaction is genuine or not. This stage
only verifies the identity and doesn’t check a customer’s account balance nor does any kind of fund transfer.

‘clearing houses’ are involved to facilitate the transfer of funds between the banks.

If the digital wallet is storing bank details, they could effectively set up a standard direct debit

When a customer wishes to make a purchase using the funds stored in the digital wallet, the
merchant must typically receive them into their own digital wallet from the same provider.
The digital wallet provider simply applies a virtual debit to the customer’s wallet and the relevant
credit to the merchant’s wallet.
If a merchant wants to transfer these funds from their digital wallet to their bank account, the
process would be almost identical to a standard bank transfer, with the digital wallet provider
transferring the requested amount to the merchant’s nominated bank account.

• The transaction is completed electronically, and the two accounts can be at the same
financial institution or different financial institutions.
• The term “EFT” does not refer to a specific type of payment. It is actually an umbrella term
that covers a broad range of electronic payments.
• EFT payments are processed by the bank through the Automated Clearing House (ACH)
network, the transfer system that connects all the financial institutions, banks, and credit
unions.
• In general, the ACH network processes EFTs in batches, which means that transactions are
accrued throughout the day and processed later.

The employer can let his direct deposit service provider know how much to deposit in
each employee’s account, and then on payday, the money will be deposited.
• Credit/Debit Cards
We can make EFT payments with a credit or debit card. We can use our card to move
money from a business bank account, make purchases, or pay bills.

• Poor communication infrastructure & Internet and mobile networking’ is one of the reasons that
hinder the e-payment system.
• Some of the debit cards technologies like automated teller machines (ATM) are still seen by
many as unreliable for financial transactions.
• Telecommunication and electricity are not available throughout the country, which negatively
affect the development of e-payments.
• etc.

EDI Envelopes
• EDI document transmission uses a system of three “envelopes” to house your
transaction sets – Message envelope, Group envelope and Interchange envelope.
All group envelopes being sent from one sender to one receiver are placed in an
Interchange envelope.

Benefits of EDI
• EDI technology saves time and money through automation of a process previously manually
executed with paper documents.
• EDI solutions improve efficiency and productivity because more business documents are shared
and processed in less time with greater accuracy.
• EDI data transfer reduces errors through rigid standardization, which helps to ensure
information and data are correctly formatted before they enter business processes or
applications.
• EDI integration improves traceability and reporting because electronic documents can be
integrated with a range of IT systems to support data collection, visibility and analysis.
