Zoven re-scans every approved merchant on a schedule, compares each scan against the last, and tells your team what changed. Quiet merchants stay quiet, and every real change opens a case.

Watch every merchant, without watching all of them

The point of monitoring is to catch the one merchant that changed. Zoven does the re-scanning and the comparing, so your team only looks at what actually moved.

Group merchants into cohorts

Bundle entities by risk rating or MCC code and give the whole group one schedule. Merchants that match join the cohort on their own.

One schedule

for the whole cohort, not each merchant

Every scan compared to the last

Each re-scan is diffed against the previous one, then split into what changed, what it means for risk, and what stayed the same, with the highest-impact moves at the top.

Ranked

by risk weight, highest first

Every scan kept on the record

Scans are never overwritten. Each re-scan links to the one before, so you can open any entity and see exactly what was known, and when.

What a missed change really costs

A clean merchant at onboarding is not a clean merchant forever. The one that turned after go-live is the chargeback, the fine, or the name in the news you did not see coming.

A clean score has a shelf life

The merchant that passed at onboarding can quietly change its category, swap in a redirect, or move its storefront months later. The tell is in the next scan, not the original application.

Risk does not stop at sign-up

A merchant that scored clean today can drift into something else next quarter. Onboarding is one moment; the exposure lasts the whole relationship.

Re-reviewing by hand cannot keep pace

Every approved merchant deserves the same rigour on every cycle, but a person re-reading sites one by one cannot re-check a thousand of them on schedule. Something always gets skipped.

One re-scan, one diff, one case

Zoven re-scans a merchant on your schedule, checking the sections most likely to drift, and compares each result against the last. Any meaningful change becomes a case with a fresh score, and the before and after stays attached, so a decision made today still makes sense next quarter.

You scope each re-scan

Pick the sections a cohort re-checks, across identity, compliance, domain, contact and adverse media. Stable areas sit out.

No manual re-reviews

Set a cadence once and the whole portfolio re-scans on its own, every time.

A change, not just a new number

Each re-scan comes with a plain call: no change, review, re-run EDD, or offboard.

The before and after stays visible

Every factor that moved between scans is on the record, so any change is easy to defend.

The checks a re-scan can run

A re-scan re-checks the sections you scope for a cohort and compares them against the last scan. These are the dimensions it can watch for drift.

Business category

Detects when the site’s real MCC drifts away from what was approved.

Redirects & domain

Catches a silent switch to another domain or a new redirect after go-live.

TLS certificate

Flags new expiry, self-signing, or a broken trust chain since the last scan.

Adverse media

Re-searches news and court records for anything new on the entity.

Sanctions & PEP

Re-runs AML screening against sanctions, PEP and watchlists on every cycle.

Storefront

AI vision re-checks premise photos for a moved or faked setup.

Registration status

Re-verifies company registration and licence validity.

Contact & payment

Re-confirms contact details and payment routing haven’t changed.

The dimensions re-checked vary by market and plan.

From a schedule to a case, in three steps

Set a cadence and the re-scans run on their own. Your team only steps in when something actually changes.

Set the cadence

Choose weekly, monthly, or quarterly re-scans per merchant or portfolio, through the API or the dashboard. No manual re-reviews.

Zoven re-scans

The engine re-checks the sections you scoped for the cohort, compares them against the last scan, and attaches the difference.

Your team reviews the change

Any meaningful change lands as a case in a queue. Dismiss, escalate, re-run EDD, or offboard, with a full audit trail.

Group merchants into cohorts, set each one’s cadence, and scope every re-scan to the checks that matter. When something moves, an agent summarises it.

Good to know

How does ongoing monitoring work?

Put an approved merchant into monitoring and Zoven re-scans its full profile on the cadence you set. Each re-scan re-checks the same 40+ signals used at onboarding, compares the result against the previous scan, and turns any meaningful change into a case. Merchants that didn’t change stay quiet and out of the queue.
