Cross-Border Considerations
This section outlines guidelines when performing cross-border transactions using TabaPay APIs.
Checks for Cross-border Disbursements or Payouts to Cards
In order to ensure that payouts are being processed ONLY to countries that you support and are eligible, we request you to check the Country/Currency Code of the destination card.
TabaPay's Query Card API verifies the country/currency code corresponding to the Card BIN.
Step 1: Invoke Query Card. The response contains details whether the card is eligible for 'Push' along with its country/currency details.
Step 2: Check and Proceed - Once you retrieve the currency/country details, check if the destination country is supported and eligible for payouts.
If the country is eligible and supported for payouts, proceed with TabaPay's Unified API (Create Transaction API)
We now allow the transaction to be in the currency of the card!
Allow currency in transaction to be currency of card, even if currency is non-acquirer currency and non beneficiary currency
Example:
You originate a push transaction in Canada (currency 124) to a card with issuing country code 826 (currency 826). If the Card uses 840 currency, then we allow push currency to be in 840.
