MATCH list

A risk-screening record—not an automatic consequence of every account closure.

GlossaryUpdated 2026-09-24
01

A specific record

A listing contains information supplied by a reporting acquirer.

02

Not every closure

Do not infer a listing from a shutdown. Ask whether a record exists and what reason was reported.

03

Ask the reporting acquirer

Start there for an inaccurate record. Mastercard states that MATCH Pro listings are deleted after five years.

The short answer

MATCH is Mastercard's system used by participating acquirers to screen merchant risk. A record includes information supplied by the reporting acquirer.

A listing can affect another application. Not every closure produces a record. Mastercard states that MATCH Pro listings are automatically deleted after five years.

Understand the specific record

If you believe you are listed, ask the reporting acquirer whether a record exists and what reason was reported. Do not infer a listing merely from an account closure.

Address inaccurate information

Start with the acquirer that supplied the record. Mastercard's privacy notice describes its treatment of MATCH information and available contact routes. Get qualified advice where the record is disputed.

Future applications

Answer requested history questions accurately. Another provider makes its own eligibility decision; a listing is neither an automatic approval nor a universal statement of your options.

A useful next step

Understand the record before another application.

Disclose requested history accurately and get qualified advice for a disputed listing. Another provider makes its own eligibility decision.
