The council states it \u201cdoes not manage compliance programs and does not impose any consequences for non-compliance.\u201d however many, if not all, financial institutions make compliance mandatory for their partners and customers.<\/p>\n

Merchants (ie those businesses seeking to process payments) are divided into different Tiers\/ Levels based on their trading profile, etc. The exact definitions vary, however there are broad similarities. Find out More Here<\/p>\n
