Trusted payment attorney

A high-risk e-commerce merchant discovered they were listed on the Mastercard MATCH List, preventing them from opening new merchant accounts. Their existing processor threatened to terminate their account, and alternative processors demanded excessive reserves, putting cash flow and business operations at serious risk.

TFM Law stepped in to investigate the reason for the listing, correct compliance issues, and resolve disputed chargebacks. We then negotiated directly with the acquiring bank and Mastercard, leveraging our industry expertise to advocate for removal without litigation.

Within weeks, the merchant was successfully removed from the MATCH List, restored access to competitive payment processing, and avoided unnecessary litigation costs. Their business operations stabilized, reserves were reduced, and they regained the freedom to grow confidently.
