# How We Verify Payment Gateway Information

> How the TransferArc payments directory is researched and verified: official gateway sources, review before publishing, what Last verified means, and corrections.

## What the directory covers

The directory answers one practical question for a transfer, chauffeur, taxi, shuttle or travel company: **which online payment gateways can I connect to TransferArc in my country, and what can my customers pay with?** It covers the 17 gateways that are integrated in TransferArc today. A country has its own page when it has a local gateway in TransferArc or when the international gateways serve companies registered there; other countries appear in the table on the [countries hub](https://www.transferarc.com/countries).

A gateway that is not integrated in TransferArc is not listed, even where it is popular. The directory is therefore a reference for TransferArc users and for anyone comparing these specific gateways, not a market ranking.

## Where the facts come from

| Fact on a page | Source |
| --- | --- |
| The gateway is built into TransferArc; the credentials TransferArc asks for; the payment methods it passes to the customer | TransferArc integration register (the Finance → Online payments module itself) |
| Whether a company registered in a country can open an account with the gateway | The gateway’s own official list of supported countries, linked on every page that uses it |
| Whether a currency can be used (for example PayPal) | The gateway’s official currency list, linked on the page |
| Country facts: currency and its ISO 4217 code, central bank or regulator, main airports | Standard reference facts; the central bank or financial regulator is linked to its official website in each country page’s source note |
| Gateway logos | The gateway’s official website or brand resources |

The directory currently cites 82 official source pages; the full list, with the date each was checked, is kept in a source register. We do not publish payment statistics, market shares or fees unless we can cite the original publisher and the date of the figure.

## How a fact is checked and published

Every gateway, country and country–gateway relation is a record with a status: **draft**, **in review**, **approved**, **published** or **hidden**. Sales staff can propose a new record or an update, with its source link; only an administrator can approve and publish it, after checking it against the source. Only published records reach the website: a relation that is still in review does not appear on any page, in any table or in the structured data.

The text of each page is written by hand for that country or gateway. A page exists only when its facts are published and its text has been written, so no page is generated from data alone.

## What the dates mean

- **Last verified** (shown on each country and gateway page): the date the facts on that page were last checked against their sources.

- **Published** and **modified** (in the page’s structured data and the sitemap): when the page first went live and when its content last changed in a meaningful way, for example a gateway added to a country or a corrected fact.

- A change to the design, the navigation, a shared component or the site’s code does not change any page’s dates. Each page and each language keeps its own dates.

## Verified facts and editorial guidance

On country and gateway pages, the facts box, the gateway cards, the comparison tables and the source note are verified facts. The “In short” summary restates those facts. Sections such as “Which gateway to pick” and the use cases are editorial guidance from TransferArc: they explain how a transfer company might combine the gateways, and are written to stay consistent with the facts on the same page.

## What the directory does not cover

Three questions are easy to confuse: what a customer can pay with (payment acceptance), who can open the merchant account (account rules) and where the money is settled (payouts). The pages answer the first and state the gateway’s published rule for the second; payouts, fees, settlement times and the approval of a particular company’s application are decided by each gateway in its merchant agreement. Nothing in the directory is legal, tax or regulatory advice.

## Languages

Country pages are written in English and, where useful, in the country’s own language; a few gateway pages are also written in the language of their market. Each language version is written for that page, carries the same facts and keeps the official names of gateways and payment methods. A language version that has not been written does not exist, rather than being machine-generated.

## Logos, trademarks and independence

Gateway names and logos belong to their owners and are shown to identify the gateways TransferArc integrates. TransferArc is not affiliated with the gateways, and a gateway’s place on a page follows a fixed order (on a country page, local gateways first, then international ones), not a ranking.

## Corrections

If a fact on a country or gateway page is out of date, write to sales@transferarc.com with the page and the official source. A confirmed correction is published on the affected pages with a new modified date. TransferArc is a product of Innovate Solution; see [About TransferArc](https://www.transferarc.com/about).
