Datamerch can be greatly improved but I stopped using the service because it seems like they do little to improve their data reporting.

A major start would be to offer other searchable data points other than just the EIN. Especially because you don't always have the correct EIN or a defaulted merchant may own multiple businesses - and defaulted with another entity.

Plus, theres no verification. People TAG Good Merchants to keep them to themselves.

Or Ive seen Tagged for "Fraudulent" Bank Statements - Just because they were faxed and distorted a bit, bank verification proved otherwise.
