# 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.

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**.<br>
