Merchant Intelligence
SafetyKit's AI agents investigate what merchants actually sell, who they're connected to, and what they're trying to hide. Verify MCC codes, validate business licenses, and analyze products across websites, social media, and storefronts. Onboard high-risk merchants confidently without building an army of reviewers.

Merchant Intelligence
Deep Investigation
AI agents uncover what merchants try to hide, from undisclosed product lines to misrepresented business models. Surface violations that periodic audits and manual reviews miss.
Learn about Merchant Intelligence →MCC & License Verification
Verify that merchant category codes match what businesses actually sell. Validate business licenses and flag mismatches before they become card network violations.
High-Risk Expertise
Handle merchants that other systems can't. Our AI has deep policy knowledge around adult content, supplements, CBD, and other categories where the line between allowed and prohibited requires judgment.
Scalable Depth
Run high-level scans across millions of merchants, then increase investigation depth where risk signals appear. Get detailed analysis without reviewing every merchant manually.
See network detection →AI-Powered Review Queue
AI agents make real decisions on edge cases, not just flag and route. Reviewers see full investigation results with merchant history, website evidence, and clear recommendations for cases that need human judgment.
Portfolio Risk Dashboard
See what your merchants are actually selling across their websites, social media, and storefronts. Surface MCC mismatches, undisclosed product lines, invalid business licenses, and connections to known bad actors across your entire portfolio.
Investigation Audit Trails
Every investigation and action is logged with full evidence. When card networks or regulators ask questions, pull complete documentation instead of reconstructing what happened.
