Merchant Account Requirements

To meet security standards, major credit card companies require Blackbaud to collect specific details about your organization and the person authorized to sign legal documents.

When you add a merchant account, Blackbaud gathers information based on your currency and location, including:

  • Organization identification number, address, and website URL

  • Bank details for direct deposit

  • Principal employee information

All submitted information, including personal information, is encrypted and handled in compliance with Personally Identifiable Information regulations.

To learn what information is required for a Blackbaud Integrated Payments merchant account, select your processing currency:

Note: Blackbaud may periodically request updates to account or signatory information. When updates are needed, your organization receives email and in-product notifications.

Tip: To add merchant accounts, from the Admin section of Blackbaud's website, select Settings, Merchant accounts. For more information, see Create and Manage Blackbaud Integrated Payments Accounts.
