Card Control Services
Overview
Our card control services allow you to manage your customers' cards with ease, providing an extra layer of security and flexibility. You can set custom limits on transactions for each card, such as daily or weekly limits, and even limit transactions to specific merchant categories or locations.
In the event of a lost or stolen card, our platform allows you to quickly block the card to prevent fraudulent transactions. You can also unblock the card when it's found or issue a replacement card directly through the platform.
With our real-time transaction monitoring, you can track your customers' card usage and receive instant alerts for suspicious or unauthorized transactions. This allows you to take immediate action to prevent fraud and protect your customers' accounts.

Card Control Services
Overview
The Switch MCC API enables the cardholder to seamlessly manage Merchant Category groups, and codes (MCCGs /MCCs), which categorize merchants. This API enables users to update or switch MCCs by enabling or blocking MCCG/MCC, and this will impact the authorization transaction immediately.
How It Works
To manage a specific card ID, you can choose to block or allow a list of Merchant Category Codes (MCC) groups, with the option to block or allow MCCs withing each group. For example, suppose you have a group labeled X containing 3 MCC codes 1111,2222,3333. If you want to block group X except for code 3333, you will need to send a request with mcc_blocked_group_list containing group X and mcc_allowed_code_list containing code 3333. This configuration specifies which MCC groups are blocked overall and which specific MCCs within those groups are allowed.
