The Credit Wholesale Company, doing business as Wholesale Payments Inc, filed a data breach report concerning an incident that affected client records. The breach occurred on March 12, 2026, and was officially reported on September 10, 2026, in Indiana. As a financial services and merchant processing institution, Wholesale Payments Inc handles a significant volume of sensitive financial and corporate data.

According to the public filing, the compromised information included Full Name, Social Security Number, Financial Account Number, Routing Number, Date of Birth, Business Tax ID Information, Transaction History, and Mailing Address. This range of data could impact both individual customers and business entities that utilize Wholesale Payments Inc's services.

The exposure of such detailed financial and personal identifiers creates substantial risks. Individuals and businesses could face increased threats of identity theft, unauthorized access to financial accounts, or fraudulent transactions. The presence of Social Security Numbers, Financial Account Numbers, and Business Tax ID Information is particularly concerning, as these data types are frequently targeted by malicious actors.

To safeguard against potential misuse of exposed data, affected individuals and businesses should remain vigilant. It is advisable to regularly review financial account statements and transaction histories for any suspicious activity. Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with major credit bureaus to prevent new accounts from being opened in your name. Additionally, be cautious of unsolicited communications, as phishing attempts often follow data breaches.

What to do if you were affected

Based on the categories of information reported in this filing, these steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud.

  • Freeze your credit

    Place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name and can be lifted anytime.

  • Guard against tax fraud

    File your tax return as early as possible and consider requesting an IRS Identity Protection PIN so no one can file a fraudulent return in your name.

  • Watch your financial accounts

    Review bank and card statements for unfamiliar activity and turn on transaction alerts. Report anything you don't recognize to your bank right away.

  • Stay alert to targeted scams

    Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails that reference this breach. Legitimate organizations won't ask you to confirm sensitive details through an unsolicited message.

  • Keep your notification letter

    Save the notice you received. It documents that your information was involved and is often needed to enroll in any credit monitoring offered or to join a related legal claim.
