We passed the three-quarters -of-a-billion mark this past week at our flagship OLS.Switch acquirer location. The winning ticket was an AMEX credit card transaction for $12.00. You can see in my little screenshot image that we got it authorized remotely by AMEX in a total 750 milliseconds.
That’s apropos for a spotlight transaction – it’s in line with traditional payment processing and the duration is reflective of what we see for remotely authorized credit and offline debit. This transaction category is at the bedrock of what we do. These are fundamental things that any OLTP payment host has to do almost straight out of the box. We’ve got well-honed, repeatable processes in place to “on-board” these types of interfaces in as routine a fashion as possible. [In fact, I admire AMEX’s well-documented, standards-based approach to such a degree that I made it the focus of my on-boarding guide.]
What’s very interesting in examining the transaction make-up is how much our newer, non-traditional initiatives are starting to lift the overall daily transaction counts. The most prominent and notable is the impact of MethCheck…something we’ve on-boarded quite readily into our payments processing platform as a way to help our clients address the pseudoephedrine compliance challenge. We’re now fielding over 10,000 of these transactions (on average) per day.
Hi Andy,
I have a question in regard with the verification of the ARQC (for Chip) using HP Atalla HSM. we are having a hard time verifying the ARQC generated by the VISA chip card (which uses CVN ='10' hexa '0A'), we were using the command 350 and method '1' but we were unable to succeed in verifying the ARQC generated by Chip_Visa140 card using CVN '0A'. Any help is resolving the above issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eshwar
