Scenario 4: Reversal on Authorization Before Clearing (Mastercard)

Scenario 4: Reversal on Authorization Before Clearing (Mastercard)

<< Back to the index

A debit cardholder makes an online purchase for $10 using a mobile wallet. A couple hours later, the cardholder cancels the transaction. The transaction does not clear before the reversal. The following are true:

  • The initial available balance is $1000.
  • The network is Mastercard Banknet.
  • Transactions for this merchant type and amount are configured to expire after seven days.

Sequence of events

Events in the same step have the same timestamp.

  1. Mastercard sends an authorization request for –10.00.
  2. Galileo approves the request and places a 10.00 hold on the account. The available balance is now 990.00. Galileo sends the BAUT: auth event message.
  3. Mastercard sends a reversal for 10.00.
  4. Galileo reverses out the 10.00 hold. The available balance is now 1000.00. Galileo sends an AAAU: auth webhook.
  5. After seven days, the authorization and its reversal expire. Galileo sends the BEXP: auth_exp and BEXR: auth_exp_reversal event messages.
