Third Party Servicer and Third Party Client Merchant Certification

Third Party Servicer Certification (TPS Only) -

Third Party Servicers, TPS' that are SIGIS members can become certified through the SIGIS self-assessment process. This certification process is for those companies that provide retailer services, including inventory management, point-of-sale transactions, payment card processing and data retention. To begin the TPS certification process, complete the TPS Self-Assessment Certification Form.

Third Party Client Merchant Certification (Merchant Only) -

Once the TPS is certified with SIGIS, Merchants using a certified TPS solution version and acquirer, and are a SIGIS member, can certify with SIGIS by completing an on-line TPS Client Merchant Certification form located in the SIGIS members area. The TPS can tell you whether your version and acquirer are certified. Individual client merchants are not required to complete technical testing with their acquirer separately because the TPS has successfully completed this testing as part of its certification.

To access the members area, click on the Members Area Tab on navigation at top of website. Once in the Members area, please navigate to the "My SIGIS" or "Members" tab and click on the "TPS Client Merchant Form" under the "Announcements" section on the page.

Client Merchants will need a user name and password to access the members area. SIGIS members can obtain a user name and password at http://www.sig-is.org/en/contact/passwordreq.asp
