Field

Description

Card Acceptor List

The Card Acceptor List associated with the card. You can specify at the merchant ID level where authorisations will be accepted (based on DE42). For example, you can allow a card to be used only in specific shops or locations. This can be applied via the Thredd API.

You can allow or disallow card acceptance (auths) based on one or more merchant category codes (MCC). For example, you can disallow gambling sites.

The MCC Group is set up and configured in Smart Client.

Check the usage rules if a card has been declined. For example, to show if transactions are prevented from going through on an unknown acceptance method.

This type of network is often used for specialised purposes, such as gift or store cards, where the card can only be used within a particular store or chain of stores. This rule is based on three different data elements:

  • DE42 – Merchant ID

  • DE43 – Address, text field for the merchant ID

  • DE61 – Postcode
