Why do I need to provide you with my company (business) information?

Providing your company information is crucial because the GameChanger app is more than just a simple payment tool; it transforms your Android device into a fully functional Point of Sale (POS) system. This advanced setup requires thorough integration with both your issuing bank and acquiring bank to authorize, process, and account for all transactions securely. Here’s why this information is necessary:

1. Business Accounting Integration: The app needs to accurately manage your business's financial records. By linking with your business information, it ensures that all transactions are properly documented and reflected in your accounting system.

2. Bank Authorization: Both the issuing bank (your customer's bank) and the acquiring bank (your business’s bank) need to validate and authorize each transaction. Providing your business details facilitates this secure communication, ensuring that funds are transferred correctly and safely.

3. Regulatory Compliance: Handling real funds means the app must comply with local legislation and global payment systems' by-laws. This includes anti-fraud measures, anti-money laundering regulations, and other financial compliance requirements. Your business information helps us ensure that all transactions adhere to these standards, protecting both your business and your customers.

4. Transaction Security: To maintain a high level of security and integrity in every transaction, your business information helps us verify and authenticate all operations. This reduces the risk of unauthorized transactions and enhances the overall trust in your payment system.

By providing your business information, you enable the GameChanger app to operate effectively, ensuring all transactions are legitimate, secure, and compliant with financial regulations. This setup not only protects your business but also enhances your ability to manage and grow your operations efficiently.
