Monitor card payments (Acquiring)

  • 2 minute(s) read
Prev Next

Submits a card-payment event from an acquiring flow for AML/screening. In acquiring, the merchant is your Customer (account holder) and the cardholder is the Counterparty.

Do not send card details that is protected by PCI-DSS. Use BIN, last-4 digits, expiry (YYYYMM), and holder name. This is typically sufficient for monitoring without expanding PCI DSS scope.
