KYCP Integration with MASTERCARD MATCH Pro to Enhance Merchant Due Diligence

February 03, 2026

As part of the overall remit of KYCP serving as the ultimate risk orchestration tool, clients of ours have asked for particular data agents to be incorporated within the overall journey of due diligence of merchants. This update is delivered through KYCP’s latest innovation: The Data Service Integration (DSI) module.

Streamlining Third-Party Data Access Through DSI

The new module DSI is fully focused on being able to call third party data agent services and be able to select and map the responses within KYCP.

KYCP is one of the most advanced Risk Orchestration tools on the market. A dynamic, real time, lifecycle management platform that caters for the fully due diligence process, from onboarding all throughout automating the back-office. Streamlining the ongoing remit of due diligence and perpetual KYC.

Centralising Merchant Risk Data in One Platform

Clients have long sought the ability to centralise all data points tied to a counterparty — from AML and KYC data to credit ratings, market insights, and transaction monitoring. With KYCP’s latest update, this information can now be accessed, processed, and acted upon from a single unified record.

This centralisation empowers compliance teams to:

Streamline merchant onboarding and risk reviews.

Improve real-time decision-making and audit readiness.

Automate workflows triggered by external data responses.

This feature focuses on the integration with MASTERCARD – MATCH Pro. The Mastercard Alert To Control High-risk Merchants (MATCH™) Pro system provides an Authorized User (as defined in this section) the opportunity to develop, assess, and review enhanced or incremental risk information prior to entering into a Merchant Agreement or Sponsored Merchant Agreement with a prospective MATCH Merchant.

When an Authorized User considers onboarding a Merchant, MATCH Pro can assist the Authorized User to make an independent risk determination prior to onboarding the Merchant and commencing submission of Transactions conducted by the Merchant to the Interchange System.

How the MASTERCARD MATCH Pro Integration Works

The new integration allows KYCP users to initiate a MASTERCARD MATCH Pro search directly within the system via a new “Data Source Integration Search” button. Once activated, the search automatically retrieves details of the main entity (the merchant), the principal owner, and any associated outlets.

Triggering the search will load the results that MASTERCARD processed with the data submitted from the record. The results are shown within KYCP, avoiding the need to have to access and use different systems.

Clicking on the VIEW button will load the entire record of the merchant as well as the principals.

All the data points from MASTERCARD will be mapped to the fields in KYCP automatically for auto population. The system will clearly highlight the matched data.

At result level the system will allow you to set the MATCH on the respective record.

Upon setting of a match the following will happen:

  1. KYCP saves all the data automatically in the database, including the corresponding match status. This is so that if research is performed, the previously set match status would be retrieved as well.
  2. Subject to additional configuration, users would also be able to choose to store certain fields within the results inside KYCP fields including the search date and termination date.

Expanding Amex Integrations

Our development roadmap includes similar integrations with American Express. This will allow clients to check merchant and counterparty activity across major providers through a single centralised solution which in turn strengthens visibility and risk oversight across the payment ecosystem.
