January 2023
In January 2023 we updated mobile wallet info, added an event message, updated overdraft event descriptions, removed endpoint parameters and an account status, fixed some parameter descriptions, clarified an Auth API field, changed some Visa response codes, added a guide, updated a card transaction scenario and added a new one. Click January 2023 to see the details.
Updating mobile wallet cards and images
For cards provisioned to mobile wallets, we've clarified that when a card is reissued or replaced, the card in the mobile wallet is not automatically updated (it must be reprovisioned), and also that when you update a mobile-wallet image, the image takes about 10 days to propagate to individual mobile wallets.
New Authorization Event message
We added the STPA: auth_stip_advice message to notify when a Mastercard STIP transaction has been approved.
Overdraft events updated
We updated the descriptions for the overdraft-related Events API messages to improve their clarity and precision.
Removed parameters
From the Create Virtual Card Account endpoint we removed the location and locationType parameters because they are not valid for virtual cards.
Removed account status
From the Account Statuses enumeration we removed c (Canceled, awaiting repayment) because it is no longer supported.
Parameter description corrections
In the Galileo setup section of the ACH at Galileo guide, the descriptions for BTBEI and BTBPI were reversed. They are now corrected.
Leading zero for MCC
In the Auth API webhook we have clarified that the mcc field does not include the leading zero; for example, MCC 0780 is transmitted as mcc: 780.
New Visa response codes
Visa has requested that its issuers switch to these response codes for certain card statuses and conditions.
| Description | New response code |
|---|---|
Status: R — Charged offZ — Canceled; no refundC — CanceledL — LostS — Stolen | 46 — Closed account |
| Frozen card | 78 — Frozen card |
| Transaction from blocked countries including OFAC countries | 62 — Restricted card |
| PIN incorrect or missing | 55 — PIN incorrect/missing |
| Pick up card (no fraud) | 46 — Closed account |
| Pick up card, special condition (fraud) | 46 — Closed account |
| Failure due to check-card status during tokenization and AVS | 46 — Closed account |
| Invalid account number (no such number) | 46 — Closed account |
This change will not affect all Visa clients at once—Galileo will be rolling out this change in phases. Check with your Galileo representative for information on when your core will be cut over. The RESPC parameter must be set to receive these new codes.

Updated card transaction scenario
We updated Scenario 9: Merchant Credit (Mastercard Banknet). The previous version did not show the merchant credit arriving at Galileo through the authorization stream (and therefore the Auth API).
New card transaction scenario
We added Scenario 19: Force Post, which shows a force-posted transaction without a corresponding authorization.
