Step 2
Map how merchants learn more
Describe the information, contact details, or application route a merchant would use to continue with your institution.

  • Eligibility and financing terms
    Your institution defines eligibility, rates, fees, repayment terms, and any other conditions. Do not imply that all merchants qualify.
  • Applications and lending decisions
    Clarify where applications are submitted, who reviews them, and that your institution makes the lending decisions.
