Credit card processors and banks are putting merchants on the Match List without proper investigation or due process, even when merchants comply with removal requests for prohibited products.
• Merchants being placed on Match List for having inventory of prohibited products, even with no sales
• Banks failing to provide evidence of actual rules violations when challenged
• Match List fines starting at $200,000 are negotiated down through the chain while merchants still pay full amount
• Peptide research facilities being "blanket" matched despite operating transparently
• Banks and MasterCard showing indifference to wrongful Match listings
• Legal action often necessary as banks ignore reasonable requests for evidence
• Merchant processing agreements prohibit class actions, making legal recourse difficult
• Documenting all compliance efforts critical when facing potential Match listing
If you're facing Match List issues, document all communication, challenge banks to show evidence of processed payments for prohibited items, and consider legal representation to navigate the process.
