Debt repayment

Visa and Mastercard have mandated that all merchants processing debt repayments submit the following fields in requests to Trust Payments. (Only applies to AUTH and ACCOUNTCHECK request types)

This mandate only applies to merchants with certain acquiring banks. Please contact our Support Team for further information.

Requirement: Your merchant category code must be either 6012, 6051 or 7299.

Your Merchant Category Code (MCC) is a four-digit number assigned to you by your acquirer. It is used to classify the business by the type of products or services it provides. If you are unsure of the value of your merchant category code, please contact our Support Team.

Inheritance

Once you have processed an AUTH or ACCOUNTCHECK containing these required fields, they can be inherited in future requests, and passed onto the acquiring bank automatically, if required.
