Why did BlueSnap partner with LegitScript?
We chose to partner with LegitScript due to the services that LegitScript offers (content compliance). LegitScript has met and exceeded our expectations in some capacities and continues to develop and work on its solution in other capacities to satisfy our ongoing wants and needs specific to our business.
What does LegitScript do better than your previous process?
LegitScript does a great job of communicating with us, providing transparency and analysis into trends in the industry, and they are great at being proactive in staying up-to-date on current events and amending their monitoring capabilities to be able to adapt to those current events.
LegitScript saves my team time by performing ongoing monitoring of all websites on our portfolio. The details they provide on flagged merchants make it easy to understand the issue at hand.

How does LegitScript’s solution impact your team’s work?
LegitScript saves my team time by performing ongoing monitoring of all websites on our portfolio. The details they provide on flagged merchants make it easy to understand the issue at hand. LegitScript has proven to be good at catching content and keywords that could be problematic from a processing perspective.
Even if a flag is something that we might not take action on, LegitScript always alerts us appropriately for review.
What if your analysts have a question about a merchant that LegitScript has flagged?
The team is always available for questions and quick to respond. If they do not know the answer right away, they will investigate it immediately and get back to us with a detailed explanation in a reasonable amount of time.
Additionally, and most importantly, they are open to feedback and work together with my team and me to make sure they are constantly providing the best results they can on an ongoing basis specific to our wants/needs as a company.
How would you describe LegitScript to another payments company looking for a merchant monitoring service provider?
LegitScript is a growing company with a lot of potential in a very competitive space. They offer unique value and continue to develop their solution to be both competitive in the space and to fit the needs of their customers.
