AEROSPACE, DEFENSE & PRECISION MANUFACTURING

Merchant account declined for an aerospace and defense business?

A decline is usually a file problem rather than a verdict on the business. Most of the time nobody explained which part, which is why the next application fails the same way.

What usually went wrong

In aerospace, defense & precision manufacturing, the same handful of things account for most declines. None of them is a verdict on the business.

Purchasing cards settle at consumer rates

Check the Level 3 fields

Government cards are refused or awkward

Review the acceptance setup

Nobody can match a payment to a PO

Tie PO to settlement

Accounting re-keys every transaction

Connect the ERP

What we do differently

We will show what is settling at consumer rates that should not be, with the arithmetic.

Being declined once does not disqualify a business. It does mean the next file has to answer the objection rather than repeat the application — and nobody can do that without knowing which objection it was.
