January 2025
In January 2025 we clarified an RDF's contents, added a parameter to the Parameters page, deprecated some RDFs, revised Reconciliation, clarified Mastercard force-posts, added an optional BAUT field, updated an event field, indicated a check-name limit, changed domestic transaction determination, changed a feature name, moved an event, updated some Reg E RDF fields, provided realistic sample URLs, and updated Product RDF fields. Click January 2025 to see the details.
Outgoing ACH RDF clarification
We clarified that the Outgoing ACH RDF includes only ACH credits (debiting the customer account) instead of including both ACH debits and credits.
Parameters page
We added the missing SECRY
param to the Accounts parameters table.
Deprecated RDFs
We removed the documentation for the Legacy Base RDFs. They have been discontinued as of 15 Jan 2025. We also removed the Reg Z RDF documentation, because it is unused.
New Reconciliation PDF
We have overhauled the Reconciliation PDF (v 2.0) to make it easier to reconcile the network draw-down amounts with Galileo data. This document is available in the Galileo Console through single sign-on, or you can request it directly from Galileo.
Distinguishing force-posted transactions
Mastercard settlements and force posts use the same trans_code: SE5
. We added a note to explain how to tell them apart and also added more information on how force-posts appear in the ledger.
Directory server transaction ID
We added a new optional field to the BAUT: auth
event message, ds_transaction_ID
, which links 3DS authentications to their authorizations.
Required property removed
We removed the Required property from the status_reason
field of DDSE: direct_deposit_switch_event
. This is a change to the documentation, not to the event.
Limit on check names
We updated Creating a Billpay Transaction to indicate that the account holder name on a printed check is 47 characters, and any name longer than that will be truncated.
Domestic transaction determination
We updated What counts as a domestic transaction in the International guide to indicate a change in how Galileo determines whether a Mastercard transaction is domestic.
Changed feature name
We changed the name of the Deposit Sweeps feature and its respective guide to Deposit Sweep.
Moved Billpay event
We moved the BPCL: billpay_cancelled
event from the Account Events Index to the Transaction Events Index. This is a change to the documentation, not to the event. The description and trigger for that event have also been changed.
Updates to a Service RDF
We updated the Service RDF guide to add multiple field names to the table for the Reg E RDF. The new fields begin with SEC_PRESENTMENT_DATE
and go until the last row. This is a change to the documentation, not to the RDFs.
Sample URL update
We updated the example URLs for the various APIs to better represent the URL format that you will be using.
- Program API and Payment Hub API —
api-{corename}.cv.gpsrv.com/intserv/4.0/endpointName
- Dispute API —
dispute-api-{corename}.{env}.gpsrv.com/endpointName
- Loan API —
lending-{corename}.{env}.gpsrv.com/lending/1.0/endpointName
- Risk API —
risk-{corename}.{env}.gpsrv.com/prp/1.0/endpointName
- Public Config API —
{corename}.config-api.{env}.gpsrv.com/config/1.0/endpointName
With these new URLs you can click the variables in the URL, which are in curly quotes {}
, and fill in your values.
corename
— The name of your core, as assigned by Galileoenv
— The environment:cv
for CV andpd
for Production
