Merchant of Record

Expanding into new global markets comes with huge financial complexities. Brand Access handles tax, privacy, and regulatory compliance, as well as payment processing, accounting, and fraud protection to ensure secure transactions.

As your Merchant of Record (MOR), we’re the legal entity authorized by a financial institution to process each customer’s credit card, debit card, or any alternative payment transaction.

Brand Access also has the capability to handle local taxes (VAT, GST, service tax, etc.) in over 50 countries—including collecting, accounting for, and remitting taxes taxes to the local authorities.

Your customers continue to relate to your company as their source of products and services, while we work behind the scenes to facilitate your payment processing, compliance, and end-to-end taxes. Using Brand Access as your MOR means you take advantage of cross-border growth opportunities while leaving local law and regulation compliance, payment administration, and processing to us.
