Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are provided for rating merchants in different industries, based on transaction data for the merchants and relative to multiple other merchants within same industries as the merchants to be rated. A merchant to be rated is initially identified (e.g., from a request, etc.), along with an industry with which the merchant is associated. Transaction data for the merchant is then accessed from a payment network. The transaction data includes data relating to both payment transactions and chargeback transactions to the merchant over a time interval. Next, a score for the merchant is generated based on at least a number of the chargeback transactions to the merchant during the time interval, and on transaction data for multiple other merchants within the same industry as the merchant. The resulting score is then associated with a risk rating for the merchant, thereby providing an indicator of the merchant's reliability.
