  • Preparing for the Migration to 8-Digit
    Dynamic Payment Solutions. Trusted Results. Preparing for the Migration to 8-Digit BIN Understanding how the 8-Digit BIN Migration will affect Visa issuers and helping credit unions prepare for the April 2022 deadline. What’s Happening. Basically, the payment industry is growing. 6-digit BINs are reaching a point of depletion. Before depletion occurs, 6-digit BINs will be migrated to 8-digit BINs. The International Organiza- tion for Standardization (ISO) has set forth a plan for migration with a completion date of April 2022. On April 2022, the Visa pool of approximately 100,000 six-digit issuing BINs will become 10,000,000 eight-digit issuing BINs. After April 2022, 6-digit BINs will not be available for assignment. However, existing 6-digit BINs will continue to be supported as they become 8-digit BINs. All of the following entities are impacted by the migration: • Issuers • Acquirers • Processors • Merchants Migration testing starts in 2019 and formal migration goes until April 2022, allowing for about 2 1/2 years for migration. Visa pro- cessing logic will be updated as well to handle 8-digit BINs. While VisaNet changes are expected to be small, Visa is allowing plenty of time for clients to implement higher impact changes. Member Access Processing Preparing for the Migration to 8-Digit BIN How Did We Get Here? A few years ago, 6-digit BINs were plenty to handle the processing of credit card pay- ments. Payment processors and issuers created systems around the 6-digit BIN. But with industry growth and especially the use of tokenization, 6-digit BINs are reaching a point of exhaustion.

  • Chargebacks | Banking Ombudsman Scheme
    Chargebacks Cardholders need a valid reason in seeking a refund on a disputed transaction. If you make a payment with a credit or debit card through the Visa or MasterCard payment platform, you can ask your bank to charge the transaction back to the merchant’s bank, which will then debit the merchant’s account. Note: payments processed through EFTPOS cannot be charged back. You have no automatic right to demand a chargeback, but it is industry practice to charge back disputed transactions if there is a valid reason. Merchants themselves sometimes complain to us about chargebacks. Participants in card transactions Every credit or debit card transaction involves: the cardholder the merchant the card issuer – the cardholder’s bank the card company – the business operating the payment network (for example, VISA and MasterCard) the merchant’s bank, which gives the merchant the means of accepting credit card payments. Payment process When a cardholder makes a purchase, the cardholder’s bank pays the merchant’s bank and the merchant’s bank transfers the money to the merchant. The cardholder repays the bank. The only direct relationships are between the cardholder and the cardholder’s bank, and the merchant and the merchant’s bank. These relationships are governed by the respective conditions of use. There is no direct relationship between the issuing bank and merchant bank, and no contract between cardholder and card company. The card issuer, merchant’s bank and card company are involved to the extent they provide technology to enable payments to be made between them. Card-issuing banks and merchant banks link up with international card companies (usually VISA or MasterCard), which are the central link in facilitating transactions.
