Card Network Certifications are a collection of standards and protocols set by the card networks such as Mastercard, Visa, Pulse, and Discover. These certifications ensure that all transactions processed through these card networks meet their specific requirements, as related to topics including security, data handling, and interoperability. Changes to these certifications are typically communicated through technical documents provided by the card networks to Marqeta four times a year (two major and two minor updates).

October 2026

Visa network certification

Marqeta is certified with the October 2026 VisaNet Business Enhancements, effective 23 October 2026.

Marqeta changes to support this release of Visa

Article 1.1 - Mandate to support the Digital Commerce Authentication Program for domestic and cross-border transactions
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is expanding Digital Commerce Authentication Program (DCAP) coverage to card-not-present transactions in Canada, Central Europe, Middle East and Africa (CEMEA), Latin America and Caribbean (LAC), and the remaining Asia Pacific (AP) countries, in addition to the existing U.S. domestic coverage. To support this mandate, Marqeta will continue to surface the digital_commerce_authentication_indicator field for these newly covered regions. Qualifying transactions will also carry additional account_owner data. The account_owner object already includes email_address, dob, nationality, occupation, and country_of_birth, and Marqeta already parses account owner address data (street, city, region, postal code, and country) from the same Visa dataset, ahead of exposing it as a new public field. For more information about the digital_commerce_authentication_indicator and account_owner fields, see Transactions.
Article 2.1 - Changes to Merchant Category Codes
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is adding four new Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) and their required merchant names across all regions: 3306 (Scoot Ltd, FLYSCOOT), 3884 (Chateraise Hotel Group), 3885 (Ab-Accommo), and 3886 (Noguchikanko Group). This is a purely additive change and doesn’t introduce a new field, edit, or response code. To support this mandate, Marqeta will surface the four new MCC values in the card_acceptor.mcc field in JIT payloads, webhooks, and the transaction API. Processing behavior doesn’t change, and no action is required. For more information, see Transactions.
Article 2.5 - Mandatory changes to Visa Resolve Online
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is implementing mandatory changes to Visa Resolve Online (VROL) for cancelled recurring transaction and lodging-related disputes. To support this mandate, Marqeta will add new fields to POST /cases. For a dispute with dispute_reason set to CANCELLED_RECURRING_TRANSACTION, where the transaction’s card_acceptor.country_code matches one of the following countries, Marqeta will add a new merchant_facilities_withdrawn field to certify that the merchant facilities were withdrawn. When you set merchant_facilities_withdrawn to true, you must provide the date the lodging facility withdrew or cancelled its services, or made them inaccessible to the cardholder, in the new facilities_withdrawn_date field. For a dispute with dispute_reason set to NOT_AS_DESCRIBED_OR_DEFECTIVE_MERCHANDISE, involving lodging services (merchandise_or_services set to SERVICES and a merchant category code (MCC) of 7011 or in the range 35013856), Marqeta will add a new date_cardholder_checked_out_from_hotel field to capture the date the cardholder checked out of the lodging facility. For more information, see Disputes (Visa).
Article 2.8 - Changes to the Digital Commerce Authentication Program to support account funding transactions
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is extending its Digital Commerce Authentication Program (DCAP) to cover Account Funding Transactions (AFTs) for issuers in the Asia Pacific, CEMEA, and Europe regions. Visa will now send the DCAP indicator to issuers on AFT authorization responses (in Field 111) and on BASE II draft data. There are no changes to the existing DCAP requirements, and testing isn’t required. To support this mandate, Marqeta will set the vdcap_qualified value to true on account funding transactions that carry the DCAP indicator, in the same transaction API surface where it appears today for other transaction types. No new field is introduced, and no action is needed from you. For more information, see Transactions.
Article 2.19 - Changes to support the processing of account owner data
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is changing the numerical format of the account owner date of birth, sent in a single location, for all transactions. The date of birth will use the yyyymmdd format instead of the older ccyymmdd format. No testing is required. To support this mandate, Marqeta will pass the account owner date of birth through to you exactly as Visa sends it. On or after 23 October 2026, the account owner date of birth you receive will be in the new yyyymmdd format. If your systems read this field assuming the older century-byte format, update your parsing before the effective date. For more information, see Transactions.
Article 3.2 - Changes to support account funding transactions with a debt repayment indicator
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is adding support for Account Funding Transactions (AFTs) that carry a debt repayment indicator in the AP, CEMEA, Europe, and LAC regions (excluding the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico). Acquirers can populate Special Condition Indicator value 9 (Payment on existing debt) along with Business Application Identifier BP or CP, for AFTs with MCCs 6012, 6051, or 7322. The impact for issuers is awareness only. To support this mandate, Marqeta will surface the special_condition_indicator value DEBT_PAYMENT for debt repayment AFTs in the affected regions, using the mapping already in place. No new field is introduced, and no action is needed from you. For more information, see Transactions.

Visa changes with no impact on your card program

Marqeta has completed the development work required for these mandates, although the modifications are not visible to you. There are no changes to how you interact with the Marqeta platform or how you handle transactions.
Article 2.7 - Changes to support the customer-related data in the Digital Commerce Authentication Program for issuers
Effective 23 October 2026 across all regions, Visa is continuing to support Digital Commerce Authentication Program (DCAP) transactions that carry customer billing address data. No changes to the Marqeta platform were necessary to support this mandate.
Article 2.10 - Changes to response code processing
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is implementing changes to response code processing. Issuer use of incorrectly applied response codes 12, 15, and 57 will be reclassified to response code 05 (Do not honor), and authorizations reclassified this way are included in the generic response code totals. Excessive use of generic response codes above Visa’s published thresholds results in system integrity fees. No changes to the Marqeta platform were necessary to support this mandate.
Article 2.11 - Changes to response codes for fraud declines
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is adding a new response code 83 (Fraud/security) in Field 39 as its highest-priority decline reason. Visa is also adding several new stand-in processing (STIP) reason codes (9212 and 9221 through 9226) in Field 63.4 that identify fraud-condition and Purchase Fraud Detection block declines. This response code and these reason codes were optional starting 17 July 2026, and will become mandatory with the October 2026 release. Marqeta has made all necessary changes to support this mandate, but these changes will not be visible to you.
Article 2.14 - Introducing the Visa Infinite Privilege and Visa Infinite Private Deferred Debit products in the Europe region
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is introducing the Visa Infinite Privilege Deferred Debit and Visa Infinite Private Deferred Debit consumer products for issuers in the Europe region. These products are identified by the existing deferred debit account funding source combined with product ID value I1 (Visa Infinite Privilege) or I2 (Visa Infinite Private). No changes to the Marqeta platform were necessary to support this mandate.
Article 2.16 - Changes to Visa Commercial Choice Omni and Visa Commercial Choice Travel programs
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is restricting the commercial virtual card account ranges for Visa Commercial Choice Travel (product ID X^) and Visa Commercial Choice Omni (product ID X1) to domestic transactions under certain conditions. No changes to the Marqeta platform were necessary to support this mandate.
Article 2.18 - Changes to regional fee programs for certain Visa consumer and business products
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is changing existing AP and CEMEA regional fee programs that apply to transactions associated with certain Visa Infinite, Visa Infinite Privilege, Visa Infinite Private, and Visa Infinite Business products. No changes to the Marqeta platform were necessary to support this mandate.
Article 2.20 - Enable cross-border processing for Visa Accept transactions
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is changing the Visa Accept program to allow cross-border transactions. No changes to the Marqeta platform were necessary to support this mandate.
Article 2.22 - Changes to support Automated Fuel Dispenser (AFD) acquirer confirmation advice messages
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is allowing an additional existing MCC to be sent in 0120 Automated Fuel Dispenser (AFD) acquirer confirmation advice messages for domestic and cross-border fuel and non-fuel purchase transactions. Marqeta has made all necessary changes to support this mandate, but these changes will not be visible to you.
Article 2.23 - Changes to support a new purchase identifier format
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is implementing a new purchase identifier format to support the Visa Recurrent service. No changes to the Marqeta platform were necessary to support this mandate.
Article 3.7 - Changes to the Visa Token Service to identify multi-device provisioning
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is adding a new Provisioning Context Indicator (Tag 81) to the Visa Token Service, carried in Field 125 for wallet provider data. It identifies whether a token came from multi-device provisioning or an authorized device transfer. Marqeta has made all necessary changes to support this mandate, but these changes will not be visible to you.
Article 11.3.1 - Changes to support the Commercial Enhanced Data Program (TC 10/20s)
Effective 23 October 2026, Visa is adding the Acquirer Reference Number to existing Visa-generated fee collection and funds disbursement transactions to support the Commercial Enhanced Data Program (CEDP) for acquirers and issuers. No changes to the Marqeta platform were necessary to support this mandate.

Mastercard network certification

Marqeta is certified with the October 2026 Mastercard Release 26.Q4, effective 23 October 2026.

Marqeta changes to support this release of Mastercard

GLB 13264.1 - Identifying issuer-initiated person-to-person payment and funding transactions
Effective 23 October 2026, Mastercard is introducing two new transaction type values, C09 and F09, to identify issuer-initiated person-to-person payment and funding transactions. To support this mandate, the Marqeta platform will classify C09 and F09 transactions as person-to-person, the same way it already handles the related transaction types Mastercard introduced previously. Once this update is live, issuer-initiated person-to-person payment transactions will be correctly identified as person-to-person in your spend-control settings and in the transaction data Marqeta provides you. Until then, these transactions will continue to process normally, but they won’t carry the person-to-person tag, which could affect your reporting or program configuration if you rely on that classification. For more information, see Transactions.
US 13301.1 - Updating the delivery of Single Message System Transmission Files
Effective 25 October 2026, Mastercard is aligning the Sunday delivery schedule for the Single Message System Transmission File (T461) and the 250-byte Batch Data File with the standard Monday through Saturday schedule. To support this mandate, Marqeta will move the first Sunday delivery of the T461 file earlier, from 10:00 CT (16:00 UTC) to 05:00 CT (11:00 UTC), about five hours earlier than the current schedule. Delivery on other days of the week doesn’t change.
GLB 13368.2 - Introducing Token Assurance Method values for tenured tokens and two-factor authentication
Effective 23 October 2026, Mastercard is adding two new Token Assurance Method (TAM) values to inbound authorization and clearing messages: 12 (two-factor authentication) and 25 (Tenured Token, for tokens used in Mastercard Digital Enablement Service (MDES) remote commerce with a sustained transaction history). To support this mandate, Marqeta will decode and persist these new values alongside the existing 10 (Account Verification) and 11 (one-factor authentication) values, with no regression to how existing TAM values are processed.
GLB 13877.1 - Introducing MDES Token Spend Controls
Effective 23 October 2026, Mastercard is introducing Token Spend Controls on individual MDES tokens. Token Spend Controls enables token requestors to set granular spend restrictions, such as spend limits, single-use tokens, and merchant category code (MCC) or geographic restrictions. When a tokenized transaction violates one of these controls, Mastercard declines it before the transaction reaches Marqeta and sends an advice message explaining why. To support this mandate, Marqeta will recognize these Token Spend Control declines and populate the advice_reason_code and advice_reason_details fields in the transaction API and webhooks with the specific decline reason, such as 0069 (MCC limit) or 0072 (geographic restriction).

GLB 12451.1 - Revised standards for enhancing indicators for purchases of cryptocurrencies
Effective 24 July 2026, Mastercard is introducing enhanced cryptocurrency transaction classification standards to improve transparency and risk management across the network. This change adds granularity to how cryptocurrency purchases are identified, distinguishing more volatile cryptocurrencies (such as BTC and ETH) from fiat-backed stablecoins (such as USDC and USDG) and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). No new fields are required to support this mandate. The classification is surfaced through a new allowable value, STABLECOIN_CBDC_PURCHASE, on the existing pos.special_condition_indicator field in GET /transactions responses and transaction webhooks. Starting 24 July 2026, transactions that are stablecoin or CBDC purchases will arrive with the STABLECOIN_CBDC_PURCHASE value, rather than the generic CRYPTOCURRENCY_PURCHASE value. If your program decisions or reports on pos.special_condition_indicator, review any logic that treats CRYPTOCURRENCY_PURCHASE as a catch-all for all crypto purchases to ensure that your risk and approval rules account for the more specific value. For the full list of allowable values for the pos.special_condition_indicator field, see the Transaction object.

Marqeta changes to support this release of Visa

Article 1.1 - Mandate to support the Digital Commerce Authentication Program for domestic and cross-border transactions
Effective 17 April 2026, Visa is mandating that all global issuers must receive and process Digital Commerce Authentication Program (DCAP) data fields for e-commerce transactions. To support this mandate, when Marqeta receives DCAP authentication data from Visa, Marqeta will now parse associated customer-related data containing consumer contact and billing address information for e-commerce transactions that have undergone enhanced authentication. Marqeta will then populate this customer-related data in the new dcap_authentication_data object in GET /transactions payloads.
NoteMarqeta will only receive and populate this data for DCAP-authenticated transactions.
Marqeta has already implemented the digital_commerce_authentication_indicator field to support this mandate, which appears in JIT payloads, webhooks, and GET /transactions API calls. Below is an updated list of this field’s allowable values: Additionally, the Marqeta platform now parses the consumer contact and billing address data that Visa sends in Field 56 for DCAP-authenticated e-commerce transactions, and surfaces it in a new digital_commerce_authentication_program object. This object is included in Gateway JIT Funding requests, transaction webhooks (authorization, authorization.advice, and authorization.clearing), and the GET /transactions/{token} and GET /transactions API responses. Marqeta populates these fields only for DCAP-authenticated transactions; the object is omitted when no DCAP data is present. For more information on this new object, see the Transactions API reference.
Article 2.1 - Changes to Merchant Category Codes
Effective 17 April 2026, Visa will implement changes to support new Merchant Category Codes (MCCs). To support this mandate, Marqeta will now return MCC values in the card_acceptor.mcc field in JIT payloads, webhooks, and GET /transactions calls. You do not need to take any action for this change to take effect, as the Marqeta systems will update this field internally.
Article 2.5 - Mandatory changes to Visa Resolve Online
In compliance with Visa network mandates, Marqeta will make changes to questions and response options for the following reason codes. These updates will go into effect on 17 April 2026. Marqeta will require you to provide a text response to the question "Explain why credit was issued late and details of ongoing negotiations between the cardholder and the merchant" in the "explain_credit_issued_late_details_of_negotiations" field. This response is only required if the difference between the transaction processing date and the date provided for either of the following fields is greater than 120 days:
  • "credit_voucher_transaction_receipt_or_refund_acknowledgement_date"
  • "date_cardholder_returned_cancelled_merchandise"
Marqeta will remove the "Merchant refused to provide return authorization" response option (written as MERCHANT_REFUSED_RETURN_AUTHORIZATION in the /cases API) for the "merchant_refuse_advise" field. Additionally, Marqeta will require Yes or No responses for the following questions:
Article 2.12 - New fraud type classifications in Fraud Reporting System
Effective 17 April 2026, Visa will expand the list of fraud type classification values in Fraud Advice and Activity Reports for account funding transactions (AFTs) and original credit transactions (OCTs). To support this mandate, Marqeta will require customers to send the fraud_type_classification field in POST /cases payloads for fraudulent Visa account funding transactions (AFTs) if the fraud_type is MANIPULATION_OF_ACCOUNT_HOLDER. The fraud_type_classification field now accepts the following additional values:
  • CHARITY_SCAM
  • HOLIDAY_AND_TICKET_SCAM
  • UTILITY_SCAM
  • LOAN_SCAM
  • PARENT_GRANDPARENT_RELATIVE_SCAM
  • JOB_SCAM
Article 2.17 - Visa Account Screen Clearing File (ASCF) auto-enablement
Previously, clearing return participation was only enabled if you requested to use the Account Screen Clearing File (ASCF) service for your program. Effective 17 April 2026, Visa will automatically enable the ASCF service for all issuers. Programs can disable the ASCF service or switch to an all-respond Account Screen Authorization File (ASAF) and ASCF clearing return configuration through a standard Client Information Questionnaire (CIQ) update request. Standard CIQ update fees apply for either change. When this change goes live, Marqeta will default all newly-enabled programs to a stand-in processing (STIP)-only ASAF with ASCF clearing return configuration. This configuration handles both authorization and clearing as described below:
  • Authorization: When the Marqeta platform is in STIP, Visa will check authorizations against the ASAF. If the primary account number (PAN) is listed on the ASAF, Visa will decline authorizations for that PAN on behalf of Marqeta. Unless it is in STIP, the Marqeta platform handles the authorization decision directly without Visa’s intervention.
  • Clearing: Visa will check all clearings against the ASCF at all times, regardless of whether Marqeta is in STIP. If the PAN is listed on the ASCF, Visa will block the clearing.
ASCF eligibility: Not all PANs on the ASAF are synced to the ASCF. Only PANs listed with the following action codes receive ASCF clearing protection:
  • 04 - Pick up card (no fraud)
  • 07 - Pick up card, special condition
  • 14 - Invalid account number
  • 41 - Lost card, pick up
  • 43 - Stolen card, pick up
  • 46 - Closed account
PANs listed with action codes 05 (Do Not Honor) or 54 (Expired Card) remain on the ASAF only. They receive STIP-only authorization protection, but they do not receive clearing protection. ASCF downgrade behavior: Visa might downgrade a PAN’s action code on the ASAF from an ASCF-eligible code to a STIP-only action code (05 or 54) if Marqeta approves a transaction on that PAN after it was listed. When this happens, the PAN loses ASCF clearing protection. To avoid this downgrade, programs must ensure that cards included in the exception file are being declined by Marqeta at the time of authorization. Enabling an all-respond configuration: Programs that want Visa to check the ASAF for all authorizations, not only during STIP, can submit a standard CIQ update request to switch to an all-respond ASAF with ASCF clearing return configuration. Standard CIQ update fees apply. Under this configuration, Visa will check all authorizations against the ASAF and decline for listed PANs, even when the Marqeta platform is available (not in STIP). Clearing behavior remains the same. Fees: Visa charges a monthly fee of $0.05 per PAN for ASCF residency. There are no changes to existing fees for programs that already have an ASCF enabled. For programs that do not currently have the ASCF service enabled, Visa will begin charging this fee when ASCF is auto-enabled on 17 April 2026. The allocation of network fees depends upon the structure of each program’s contract.
Article 10.3.1 - Changes to support domestic account funding transaction mandate in Brazil
Visa will require acquirers and issuers in Brazil to support the recipient tax identification for account funding transactions (AFTs) containing money transfer or non-money transfer business application identifiers (BAIs). To support this mandate, Marqeta will reject domestic AFTs from Brazil that do not include recipient tax identification. This change only affects programs that use AFT processing for domestic transactions from Brazil, and also use one of the following Business Application Identifiers (BAIs):
  • BB
  • BP
  • FT
  • WT

Mastercard network certification

The Marqeta platform is certified with the January 2026 Mastercard Release 26.Q1, effective 26 January 2026.

GLB 11730.1 - Enhancing Mastercard transaction insights: authorization match

Mastercard is revising and expanding the advice detail code values and descriptions used with On-behalf Service (OBS 33) for Mastercard Send and other transaction-blocking service flows. Mastercard is updating values for the following fields:
  • DE 48 (Additional Data: Private Use), subelement 71 (On-behalf Services)
  • DE 60 (Advice Reason Code), subfield 2 (Advice Detail Code)
The updated values carried in the aforementioned fields are intended to give issuers clear and granular insight into why non-compliant funding, MoneySend payments, gaming/gambling payments, and related transactions are blocked. To remain compatible with the revised network specifications, Marqeta will update its authorization and advice processing to parse the new and revised advice detail code values. However, Marqeta will not expose these updated OBS 33 detail codes downstream in program-facing payloads or external integrations. For Marqeta programs, there will be no change in the way Marqeta processes or communicates transaction declines. This enhancement is informational from an integration standpoint.
