Card Swap FAQ

Modified on Tue, Jan 16 at 8:54 AM

CardSwap allows your end users to apply their debit card across subscription and digital point of sale

services. End users enter their card information and login credentials for their subscription and digital point of

sale services, and the new preferred payment information is verified and applied to their selected

subscription and digital point of sale providers in real time.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Why am I receiving an error message when adding a new payment method?
    1. End users will receive an error message if they are entering an incorrect card number, expiration date, zip code or CVV. Have the end user double check that you are entering correct card information. If an end user is attempting to add a payment method from a different financial institution, end users will receive an error message instructing them to enter in your card

 

  1. How long does it take for my card to be swapped on a biller site?
    1. It may take up to 24 hours. However, in most cases, the card swap happens immediately. It may take longer if the provider website is down or we encounter an issue with the swap during the first attempt.
  2. Why do I receive email confirmation that a new payment method is on file for some providers, but not others?
    1. Whether or not you receive a confirmation email from a provider is dependent on the provider and the provider’s process for notifying customers of changes on their account. Q2 has no control over direct provider notifications to end users.
  3. What does a yellow (!) next to a provider mean?  
    1. The (!) next to a provider means the provider is temporarily down for maintenance. The end user is instructed to check back later if they wish to attempt to swap out their card.
    2. The (!) may also mean that there is an issue with the end user’s account. If the end user clicks on the provider with an (!) they will receive information regarding the problem with their provider account and instructions on how to resolve the issue.
    3. Clicking on the provider will always provide messaging to the end user.
  4. Why did I receive a notification that my iTunes account is being accessed from Virginia?
  1. End users may receive notification from some providers that their account is being accessed from  location different from where they are located. This is caused by providers detecting a login from our servers rather than the end users locations. In order to perform the swap, our system will need to access the end user’s account.
  1. Why did I receive a notification that my account was accessed from an unknown device?
    1. End users may receive notification from some providers that their account is being accessed from an unknown device. This may occur is the end user has selected “remember me” upon login and the provider registers their device. If the CardSwap system accesses an account with these settings in place, the provider may notify the user since our system is different than what the end user typically uses to access their account.
  2. Why do some providers require me to enter a security code? 
    1. Authentication requirements differ by provider. Some providers require a security question or code in order to access an account. If the provider requires the end user to enter a security question or code outside of CardSwap, the end user will also be required to enter your security question or code inside of CardSwap.

 

 

Invalid Debit Card Messages

The following are potential errors that can occur when an end user adds their debit card.

 

  1. The card number field is invalid – The card number entered was incorrect. The end user will need to re-enter the card number
  2. Please use a [FI Name] Bank card - The card needs to be a [FI Name] debit card. Cards from any other issuer will NOT be accepted.
  3. Please correct the errors and try again – If an end user enters an invalid expiration date, CVV code or zip code the card will not validate. The end user will need to re-enter their card information.
  4. The card is already linked to your account – The card the member is attempting to add into CardSwap was already added. If the member would prefer a different [FI Name] card to be on file with their selected providers they can add the new card into CardSwap.
