# Credit Account Verification
## Credit Account Verification
If desired, you can perform a credit account check on a client’s card before processing a transaction in order to confirm the validity of the card.
{% hint style="info" %}
NOTE: A credit account verification does not authorize a transaction, it only indicates if the cardholder account has the available funds to make the purchase.
{% endhint %}
#### **To verify a card's credit account:**
1. Touch the **Operations** menu and touch **Verify credit account**.
2. Touch **OK**.
3. Insert, swipe, or tap the payment card.
4. When the terminal receives the response, the screen displays the result and prints the merchant copy of the transaction receipt. To print the customer copy, touch **Print receipt** or touch **No receipt** if no customer copy is required.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.payfacto.com/payfacto-knowledge/canada-doc-center/applications/secure-payment/payment-standalone-mode/transactions/credit-account-verification.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
3. Insert, swipe, or tap the payment card.
4. When the terminal receives the response, the screen displays the result and prints the merchant copy of the transaction receipt. To print the customer copy, touch **Print receipt** or touch **No receipt** if no customer copy is required.
