Statements and identity documents are transmitted over TLS 1.3, stored encrypted at rest, and visible only to the underwriter assigned to your file and the sponsoring bank credit team. Declined applications are purged after 90 days unless you ask us to keep the file open. We never sell, broker or share an application with a third-party ISO panel.

Application and data-handling disclosure

Meridian Rails Payments, LLC is a registered ISO/MSP of Harbor Point Bank, N.A., Wilmington, Delaware. Merchant accounts are issued by the sponsoring bank. Meridian Rails is not a bank, does not hold merchant funds, and does not make the credit decision on your file.

Submitting this form is not an application for consumer credit and triggers no consumer credit enquiry. There is no application fee. Where a sponsoring bank requires a personal guarantee, any credit check forms part of final underwriting and you will be told before it is run.

Documents you send are processed under our GDPR and UK GDPR compliant Data Processing Addendum, encrypted in transit and at rest, shared only with the sponsoring bank considering your file, and purged 90 days after a decline unless you ask otherwise. We do not broker applications to third-party ISO panels.

No approval is guaranteed. Every application is subject to underwriting, KYB/KYC verification and OFAC sanctions screening, and may be declined.

Retention

Declined application files are deleted after 90 days. Approved merchant records are retained for the period required by the sponsoring bank under the Bank Secrecy Act and applicable AML rules.
