Tom Brown (Past Member)

Has anyone worked out the updates to TR_CARDTYPE that are needed to respond to Mastercards New Card Range.

We were told the following by Bank of America First Data:

Effective October 14, 2016, MasterCard will introduce a new Bank Identification Number (BIN) range beginning with a ‘2’ (222100-272099). Transactions on MasterCard card numbers beginning with a ‘2’ must be accepted and follow the same logic and handling as MasterCard card numbers within the existing 510000-559999 range.

    Thank for the insights. Have you seen a similar notice about the change / addition?

    Actually, the numbers in TR_CARDTYPE don't seem to be used actively anywhere. I think it might be obsolete.. SQL Search can't find any reference to it outside itself, except for a FKish field in TR_ACCOUNT_TYPE, which is not in use (all values NULL)

    The function that looks like it handles card validation (dbo.FS_VALIDATE_ACCOUNT) only refers to TR_ACCOUNT_TYPE. That one has a field .card_prefix, which can have multiple, variable length values for one cardtype, comma separated. So I would think the minimum change needed would be to change that from "5" to "5,2".

    Although the system table Guidelines does say Do not change values for 1 (Visa) 2 (MasterCard) and 3 (American Express), so that might be a bit Brave, before TN give us a go-ahead.

    And there may be others, of course...

    Hi Tom

    AFAIK, nobody's ever told us about it, but when I saw your

    original message I googled it, and there are some relevant general announcements out there (it's even in Wikipedia)

    There's plenty of time for us to prepare, I suppose, but you might have thought that MC would have made some effort to make all of its merchants aware by now. People with less flexible systems than Tessitura might need a substantial lead time.
