March 2025

In March 2025 we deprecated old STIP reporting methods, added optional request fields, documented the new Galileo Console, added a new guide, updated a guide, clarified replacement fees, added a recipe and card transaction scenario, corrected a field name, clarified some transaction and authorization types, and added three new simulations. Click March 2025 to see the details.

STIP reporting method deprecated

We have deprecated the older method of STIP reporting in favor of the new iteration:

STIPA and STIPD product parameters have been replaced by STIPR
STPA: auth_stip_advice and STPD: auth_stip_info have been replaced by STPN: auth_stip_notification
The stip object in the Auth API provides three new fields: stip_decision, additional_detail, and is_stip_denial

Added request field to Get Instant Verification endpoint

We added the following request fields about the account holder to Get Instant Verification:

prodId
progId
providerId

New Galileo Console guides

We’ve published new Console user guides for organizations with external IdPs and Galileo as IdP . You can access these guides in the Documentation section of the Galileo Console.

New guide and guide updates

The Payment Method Switch guide has been updated to a full product guide and it has a new supporting guide too: Setting Up Payment Method Switch. This new guide provides details about the relevant endpoint, event, and implementation instructions.

Replacement fee information

To the Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Cards guide, we have added a section about replacement fees to clarify how they work in the context of lost and stolen cards.

New recipe

We have created a new Recipe: Auth API v3: Allpoint ATM Card Load, based on the same transaction that informed Scenario 25, introduced below.

New card transaction scenario

We added Scenario 25: ATM Card Load (Allpoint), which demonstrates a cardholder feeding cash into an ATM to load onto a card.

Corrected field name

We corrected a field name in the ACFC: account_feature_change event from feature_id to feature_type. This is a correction to the documentation, not a change to the event.

Transaction type clarifications

To the Transaction Types enumeration we've added the Discover card-load reversal transaction code ADlc and we've updated the Authorization types table to clarify what each value means.

Card load simulations

We've added instructions to simulate three types of card loads:
