Secure Payments Bank Cards Control
Introduction
Using BIN ranges, Secure Payments can restrict certain types or brands of card with the click of a button. Within Secure Payments, you'll find these features under Settings > Bank Cards Control in the navigation pane at the left.
How It Works
Types
The first set of controls allow you to restrict certain types of cards. If you don't want your customers paying with a credit card, for instance, you would just switch off 'Credit'. If you only wanted customers using prepaid debit cards, you would leave 'Prepaid' and 'Debit' on but switch off 'Credit' and 'All Others'.
Brands
The next set of controls governs which brands of cards are accepted, and the controls work just like the Types settings above. If you don't accept VISA, you would simply switch it off. If you only accept these four major brands, you would leave them on and switch 'All Others' off.
BIN Attributes
This last control determines what will happen if the BIN is not recognized. With this option on, you will still accept payment profiles even if the BIN attributes are not available. With this option off, you will not accept any payment profiles with unrecognized BIN attributes.
Card Attribute Lookup
All of these controls use cards' BIN ranges, but if your Secure Payments account doesn't lookup those ranges, it cannot block unwanted payment profiles. To turn on Card Attribute Lookup and enable Bank Card Control, go to My Account > Actions in the navigation pane on the left of the screen, and ensure 'Card Attribute Lookup' is turned on.
If you try to use Bank Card Control settings without Card Attribute Lookup, Secure Payments will display a notification with a link to turn it on.
