Vantiv Streamlines Merchant Onboarding with FICO^® Decision Management Suite

Every year, Vantiv processes more than 17 billion payment transactions for nearly a half-million retail merchants in the United States. Because there is a contingent risk involved in taking on a new merchant, Vantiv sought to ensure that it minimizes that risk and makes appropriate pricing offers. Specifically, they needed a way to speed up its merchant onboarding process, which was being done manually and could take up to nine days. They chose FICO Merchant Acquiring Solutions, powered by FICO^® Decision Management Suite. As a result, Vantiv has cut merchant onboarding from days to minutes, which helps facilitate the company’s rapid growth and opens up new possibilities for partnerships with independent sales organizations and merchant banks.
