Status Codes

Refer to the table below for status codes that you can use within the <NewStatCode> tag. The codes enable you to set the status of a card using the Card Change Status (Ws_Status_Change) web service, and the Card Unload and Change Status (Ws_UnLoad_StatusChange). These statuses are set as Can be changed in the table below. Scheme DPAN (Digital PAN) status refers to the corresponding DPAN status in MDES/VDEP when a card is set to the matching Status Code in Thredd's systems. Other statuses can be returned in a response to a card status request.

The service returns an action code of 654 if an attempt is made to change the status of a card with an irreversible status.

The service returns an action code of 825 if an attempt is made to change the status of a card to a non-editable status.

Notes

  • All statuses, apart from 43 and 83, are reversible.

  • Do not use status 01 (refer to Card Issuer or 54 (expired card) as these are for Thredd use only.

  • Changing the status to 99 (card voided) or 98 (refund to customer) automatically generates a card balance adjustment down to 0.00.

  • You should use the following status codes for blocks:

    • Temporary Block: G1 or G2.

      Use when you want merchants to try again. Visa guidelines instruct merchants to attempt up to 15 retries over 30 days. A card block takes place for all non-credit, Balance enquiry and tokenisation (digital wallet) transactions. Refunds and Credits are permitted.

    • Permanent Block: G3 or G4. Use when you don’t want merchants to try again. Visa expect that the card should not return to the '00 Approve' state at all, or at least not within 30 days.
