Balance Inquiry

Request to retrieve the balance available to spend on a card. You can use this operation to request: The balance available on a gift card, or The balance available to spend by redeeming rewards earned using a card enrolled in a rewards program. For gift cards, only the balance available is returned. For credit or debit cards, additional details such as the reward points available to redeem and the conversion rate used to determine the available balance are also returned.

sourceOfFunds   = COMPULSORY

Depending on the payment type the source of the funds can be a debit or credit card, bank account, or account with a browser payment provider (such as PayPal).

For card payments the source of funds information may be represented by combining one or more of the following: explicitly provided card details, a session identifier which the gateway will use to look up the card details and/or a card token. Precedence rules will be applied in that explicitly provided card details will override session card details which will override card token details. Each of these may represent partial card details, however the combination must result in a full and complete set of card details. See Using Multiple Sources of Card Details for examples.
Fixed value

For browser payments, the source of funds details are usually collected from the payer on the payment provider's website and provided to you when you retrieve the transaction details (for a successful transaction).

For the list of field tags to include (if provided by the terminal), see Card Present Payments. Requests with any other tags are rejected by the gateway.

Some of the tags represent data that can occur on explicit fields in this API. You can submit the value either in this field, or in both places. For example, the PAN can be presented as EMV tag 5A in this field, or included both the sourceOfFunds.provided.card.number API field and in EMV tag 5A in this field.

If you specify the EMV tag only, we can populate the explicit field in the API. Fields where this is supported have the text "This field corresponds to EMV tag <tag name>" in their field descriptions.

If you specify both places, there will be no population of the explicit field or validation that the data matches.

The API response will not contain PCI sensitive fields.

sourceOfFunds.provided.card.maskedFpan  Masked digits = OPTIONAL

You should use this value for display on confirmation or receipt pages presented to the payer.

RequestNormally you do not need to populate this field, as the gateway will populate this field in the session, and populate it into the payment request when you submit the payment using the session. You would only provide this value, if you had access to FPAN information that was not available to the gateway. On responses, the gateway populates it with a form that the payer would recognize (also explained in more detail below).

Retrieve session response

The gateway always populates this field with its best understanding of the masked FPAN.If you are showing PAN data from the session to the payer, then use this field rather than sourceOfFunds.provided.card.number from the session. This is because this field contains a PAN that the payer will recognize whereas sourceOfFunds.provided.card.number could contain a scheme token, or device PAN which the payer will not recognize. After the payment is processed, the gateway will populate the sourceOfFunds.provided.card.number in the payment response with its best understanding of the masked FPAN. You can show this value to the payer after the payment is complete. This logic also applies to the maskedFpanExpiry field.

sourceOfFunds.provided.card.number  Digits = OPTIONAL

On requests, provide the number in the form that you receive it (as explained below). On responses, the gateway populates it with a form that the payer would recognize (also explained in more detail below).

  • Request

    On request, populate this field based on the payment method you are using for the payment:
    • • Card: the account number embossed onto the card. This field corresponds to EMV tag 5A.
    • • Device payment methods such as Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay, or Google Pay. Normally for device payments, you would populate sourceOfFunds.provided.card.devicePayment.paymentToken and the gateway will decrypt and extract this field. However, you can populate this field if you decrypt the payment token yourself. In this case use the Device PAN (DPAN) provided in the payment token.
    • • Digital wallets such as Masterpass, Visa Checkout or Amex Express Checkout. In this case, provide the PAN retrieved from the wallet.
    • • Scheme tokens such as MDES (Mastercard Digital Enablement Service). Supply the value called the "Token PAN".
  • Response

    On return, the card number will be populated in 6.4 masking format, for example, 000000xxxxxx0000. If you wish to return unmasked card numbers, you must have the requisite permission, set responseControls.sensitiveData field to UNMASK, and authenticate your call to the API using certificate authentication.

    When a DPAN or scheme token was provided in the transaction request, then this field will represent the PAN of the associated payer's account (when supported by the acquirer). This is also referred to as the Funding PAN (FPAN).
