Highlights

πŸ“Accounting events reports

  • Cost center information is now included in the accounting events report file. In the entry_creation-1 event, added accounting_event_id, accounting_entry_id, credit_cost_center and debit_cost_center fields.
  • In the Accounting events report files guide, added the following fields: Transaction_ID, RefDate, ProcessingCode, ProcessingCodeDescription, Event_ID, AccountEntry_ID, DebitCostCenter, and CreditCostCenter. Also, added the sample accounting events file section with examples of the file structure and contents.

πŸ“Partial authorization for Visa

New partial authorization feature for Visa is now available. Partial authorization addresses insufficient fund declines at the point-of-sale. It provides an alternative to a declined transaction when the available Visa card or account balance is not sufficient to approve a transaction in full. Instead of a decline, the transaction is approved for a portion of the original amount requested.

πŸ“New card embossing endpoints

Two new card embossing endpoints are now available:

πŸ“ New Account delinquency API

New Account delinquency API is now available for handling unpaid minimum account payments. Every time the minimum payment isn’t made, a β€œdelinquency bucket” is created.

πŸ“ Automated dispute installment control

Automated dispute installment control feature is now available for disputes. If an issuer opens a dispute for a transaction that has more than one installment, with installments that can still be posted, the issuer will need to open a dispute for subsequent installments as well. With automated dispute installment control, once you open a chargeback for the first installment, the same information can be used for subsequent transaction installments. You, as an issuer, only have to open a dispute for the first installment. The option for this is configured at the program level.
