April 2026

In April 2026 we fixed an account-feature description, changed character support, added a card image detail, updated Payment Hub endpoint descriptions, updated a field description, updated parameter descriptions, and added a business application identifier. Click April 2026 to see the details.

Corrected featureType description

In the Set Account Feature Values enumeration, we had erroneously described featureType: 13 as "Mark customer as high risk." (That's actually the description for card fet_id: 13.) We corrected the description to read "Enable Metro2 credit reporting," which applies to an account instead of a card.

Default support of international characters

For the Create Payment and Create Account Transfer endpoints, selected text fields now support the international character set by default, without needing Galileo setup.

• Create Account Transfer — message, senderMessage
• Create Payment — storeName, retailChain, partner, storeAddress1, storeAddress2, storeCity, storeState

Detail about card images

We updated Design a Card to specify that there is no upper limit to the number of card images you can associate with a product.

Clarified Payment Hub endpoint descriptions

We updated the descriptions for the Create External Account Link and Load External Account Links endpoints to clarify their use cases and better differentiate them from one another. The functions of these endpoints have not changed.

Clearer userId field description

For the Add Customer Note endpoint, we updated the userId field description to clarify that this field must be an email address.

Updated BLKRI parameter description

We updated the Authorization and Parameters pages to clarify that the BLKRI parameter is not specific to non-reloadable prepaid Visa products.

New Business Application Identifier (BAI)

We updated the Business Application Identifier page to include VA, representing Visa Accept, as a possible value for the bai field in various data sources.
