Statement review readiness checklist

Walk through four dimensions of a merchant payment review. Mark what you've already verified—nothing is uploaded.

Interactive checklist

Get organized before comparing offers.

This checklist structures questions; it does not request or interpret sensitive financial documents.

Tip: Treat an unchecked item as a research question, not a failure. Ask the current provider for written explanations as needed.

What happens after the checklist

Once the gaps are documented, compare your statements and provider terms to the business problem you are trying to solve. You may discover that the best outcome is a clarification, renegotiation, configuration change or no change.

If a new provider is being considered, use the merchant account evaluation guide and review software, funding and contract constraints.
