Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for client identification and verification includes a memory device for storing data and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory device. The processor is programmed to receive merchant identification data corresponding to a merchant. The merchant identification data includes identification data relating to the identity of the merchant and a primary authorized user for the merchant. The processor is also programmed to generate a merchant profile from the merchant identification data for the merchant, and generate an activation code for the primary authorized user based on the merchant profile. The activation code is transmitted to the primary authorized user. The processor receives, from the primary authorized user, one or more biometrics of the authorized user, validates the biometrics of the authorized user, and upon validation of the biometrics, activates a merchant account.

Abstract: Systems and methods for use in authenticating business partners, in connection with requests by the partners for various products and/or services, are disclosed. An exemplary method generally includes receiving a request from a business partner for a product and/or a service where the product and/or service relates, for example, at least partly, to transaction data, or other data. The method also generally includes assigning a risk score to the business partner, comparing the risk score assigned to the business partner to a sensitivity threshold associated with the requested product and/or service, and distributing the product and/or service to the business partner, when the risk score satisfies the sensitivity threshold.
