Multi-network examples
On the Card Transaction Examples page we added Other network codes tables to show the transaction codes when the transactions happen on other networks.
New guide
We completed a new guide, About Disputes, which explains the dispute process in general and then describes how disputes work at Galileo. Both card and ACH transactions are covered.
Customer activation and engagement strategies
We've published a suite of new product documentation to help you take advantage of Galileo's capabilities to drive customer activation and engagement. We have also reorganized much of the card-related content to make it easier for you to find what you're looking for, whether it be business cases or implementation instructions.
- Maximizing Customer Activation Rates — A new guide to help you get your new customers to start spending on your platform and strategies to keep customers engaged
- Choose a Card Strategy — A new guide that explains the card products that Galileo offers and how you can use those products to meet your business goals
- Setting Up a Card Program — A new guide on the steps to take during the lifecycle of a card
We've also reorganized our cards-related documentation into three new sections: Card Strategy, Card Management and Card Implementation.
Galileo Secured Credit: Dynamic Funding
We added information on the new Dynamic Funding product. We also renamed and moved the Galileo Secured Credit guide to the Credit section in the sidebar. Major additions for Dynamic Funding are:
- Dynamic Funding in About Galileo Secured Credit

- Considerations for Dynamic Funding in Developer Setup for Galileo Secured Credit
- Secured credit account structure and Secured credit authorization and settlement in Galileo Secured Credit Workflows

For these events you now have the option to receive the rrn (Reference Retrieval Number) and merchant_postal_code fields:
Feature Type clarification
We clarified that featureType: 21 of the Set Account Feature endpoint does not block card loads.
