PINless debit
In the United States, debit cards are co-branded with:
- A signature network (such as Visa, Mastercard, or Discover)
- A local debit network (also called PINless debit network, such as Star, Accel, NYCE, and Pulse)
You can accept PINless debit payments to process transactions using both networks.
PINless debit payments are supported for merchants based in the United States that process card payments in United States dollars (USD).
Information
To enable PINless debits on your account, contact your Account Manager or [email protected].
Depending on the nature of your business, you may process two types of transactions:
- One-time retail purchases – also known as e-commerce transactions
- Contracted agreed payments for recurring billing or subscription services – also known as bill pay, or bill payment transactions
Because these types of transactions are processed using a single transaction message, the manual capture flow is not supported for bill payment transactions. Additionally, due to limitations on processing this message, you cannot apply post-authorization rules to these transactions.
You can configure the transaction types that apply to your business when onboarding PINless debit payments for your account.
