Modify Status Types

The table below contains values for the type parameter of the Modify Status endpoint.

🚧

Important

Mastercard considers status: C (canceled) and status: Z (canceled without refund) to be permanent statuses. As of 3 Jun 2025, issuers are required to return response_code: 46 for accounts or cards in those two statuses. If you reactivate a card or account that was closed, Mastercard could assess penalties for transactions attempted against that card. If you need to temporarily close an account or card to reopen later, use status: D (disabled).

📘

Note

A dash (—) means no change in status.

Where the Closes account column shows Yes, it means the value closes the account and sets the active flag to N.
