Scenario 18: Real-Time Funding

<< Back to the index

For more RTF scenarios, see Real-Time Funding Transaction Examples.

A company has set up a real-time funding (RTF) source account and has issued a number of RTF spending accounts that are associated with it. An RTF spending cardholder makes a $45 purchase at a retail outlet. The following are true:

1. The RTF funding account (PRN: 333333333333) has a $1000 available balance.
2. The RTF spending account (PRN: 777777777777) has a $0 available balance.
3. The network is Mastercard Debit Switch (Maestro).

Sequence of events

Events in the same step have the same timestamp.

1. Mastercard sends an authorization request for –45.00.
2. Galileo moves 45.00 from the RTF funding account to the RTF spending account. The RTF funding account now has an available balance of 955.00 and the RTF spending account has an available balance of 45.00. Galileo approves the authorization request and puts a 45.00 hold on the RTF spending account. The RTF spending account now has an available balance of 0.00. Galileo sends the BAUT: auth event message.
3. Two days later, Maestro sends a settlement batch file with the –45.00 transaction.
4. Galileo backs out the 45.00 hold and posts –45.00 to the RTF spending account. The RTF spending account still has an available balance of 0.00 and the RTF funding account still has a 955.00 balance. Galileo sends the SETL: setl event message.
