This article shows affiliates key insights into credit card pre-authorisation during the application process, covering why it's mandatory, the reverse timeline, transaction transparency, accepted credit cards, and our commitment to data security.
Why is credit card pre-authorisation now mandatory for new affiliate applications?
The mandatory credit card pre-authorisation is an integral part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring a secure and efficient onboarding process for our affiliates. This measure is in line with industry standards and aims to enhance overall compliance.
How long does it take for the AU$5.00 pre-authorisation fee to be reversed to affiliates after my application is processed?
The reverse of the AU$5.00 fee typically occurs within 7 working days from the date the affiliate's application is processed by our Publisher Team. This timeframe may vary depending on the credit card and bank account.
Will I see any debit or credit transactions in my account during the application process?
A pre-authorisation will only temporarily appear as a debit amount. The system ensures that the preauthorization token is released promptly once the application is either approved or declined.
What types of credit cards are accepted during the affiliate application process?
We accept a wide range of major credit cards for the affiliate application process. Commonly accepted cards include Visa, MasterCard and American Express. Please ensure that the credit card you provide is valid and belongs to you, as it will be part of the application verification process.
Does Commission Factory store credit card information during the affiliate application process?
No, we do not store credit card information. Our system generates a temporary payment authorization token during the application process, prioritizing the security and privacy of your financial details.
