Merchant Risk Investigation is the operational team specialised in assessment of merchant related risk. The team is divided into two processes - underwriting and monitoring. Underwriting is doing review and decisions of new merchants, with primary focus on regulatory compliance. The monitoring process monitors the merchant portfolio, and acts on alarms and deviant merchant behaviour, with the aim to keep losses at desired levels. We are first line of defense for detecting abnormal merchants, and we are striving to become the best at merchant risk. Merchant Risk Investigation is part of Inscourced Operation Services, which acts as an internal insourcing department.
