Merchant account and identification number
A merchant account identifies you to banking institutions and allows you to accept payments by credit and debit card for the sale of goods or services on the University campus. When you create an account, you receive a unique merchant identification number.
POS Terminals
To obtain a point-of-sale (POS) terminal, you must receive approval from Financial Resources and provide a merchant identification number.
All University merchants or points of sale with POS terminals are required to comply with University measures to meet the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
