Card Search Result

Cards > Find Card > Search Result

Cards are listed according to the search criteria you entered on the Find Card page. You can select any card and delete, enable or disable them.

The search result page shows card number, name on card, expiry date, issuer enrolment status and card status. Expiry date is an optional field and is only displayed if it was provided at registration.

The card's enrolment status can be either pre-registered or registered.

The Search Result page may return multiple results for a single card number depending on whether this is an account with multiple cardholders or not. Card numbers with multiple cardholders can be distinguished based on the cardholder name.

Note

The issuer system uses the combination of card number and cardholder name (name on card) as the key identifier for authentication purposes.

Card numbers with different card names are treated independently and as such each cardholder can have their separate authentication data. This also means that enabling/disabling registration are handled separately. For example if you wish to completely remove a card from the issuer system, be sure to select and remove all cardholders.

You can browse to the card details page by following the link under Card Number or Name on Card.

Use the following steps to delete, enable or disable a card:

  • Choose one or more cards by clicking the Select checkbox adjacent to the Card Number

  • Click the appropriate button.

    A confirmation message will be displayed.

Use the following steps to select a card:

  • Click the Card Number hyperlink for the card you wish to view or edit details.

    The Card Details page is displayed.

Use the following steps to select all items that match the search criteria:

  • Click the box under the Select column to select or unselect all items. This allows you to perform the desired task on all selected items.

    You should note that all items matching the search criteria will be affected. This includes items displayed on other pages and even those omitted due to the large number of results (display of search results is limited to a maximum of 400 records).

Note

Important: If you are selecting a large number of records, you should remember that the operation can take a long time to complete and will generate an audit log record per affected item. Use this functionality on large number of records with diligence and where only strictly necessary.

The following card details can be viewed/ edited on this page:

  • Issuer

    Shows card's issuing bank and cannot be changed.

    If the cardholder is enrolled and the card is disabled or locked, it cannot be used to make authenticated payments.

    If the cardholder is not enrolled, the enrolment process cannot be completed if the card is disabled.

    Cards that are locked by the system can be unlocked by administration staff or after a time-out period, as specified in the issuer settings. A card cannot be manually locked.

  • Number of ADS cancellations - Shows the number of times a cardholder has refused to complete activation during shopping by either opting out of ADS or cancelling the transaction.

  • ADS proof of attempts granted - Shows the number of times a cardholder has been granted proof of authentication attempt without being required to complete the activation during shopping process.

    Note

    Where Business Rules are being used and a rule has matched, this value is set to the maximum automatically and therefore the value may not be a true representation of the number of ADS proof of authentication attempts that have been granted to this cardholder.

  • Extended cardholder information - Each card is also associated with one or more authentication or data fields. The issuer determines the format and number of these fields. Extended cardholder information is only displayed if the system administrator enables this option in the Issuer Management section.

    For example a card may be accompanied by / associated with:

    • A PAM (Personal assurance message or the greeting message as required in VbV, J/Secure, ProtectBuy, SafeKey and SecureCode schemes)

The cardholder requires this activation code before they can complete linking the replacement device with an existing account.

Note

Generate Activation Code is not available for EMV 3DSecure transactions and will not be displayed for OOB devices.

Assigned Devices

Cards > Find Card > Search Result > Card Details > Assigned Devices

Assigned Devices displays all devices attached to the selected card. It enables you to assign a new device to a card, remove an assignment or change the status of assigned devices to Lost, Damaged or Temporarily disabled.

The following fields and links are displayed:

  • Device Management - links to the Device Management page for manually assigning a new or existing device to the card, or deleting an existing device.

The following fields and links are displayed for each assigned device:

  • Select checkbox - for selecting the device to use in conjunction with the Remove Assignment button or Delete button. To remove assignment of all devices, click the select checkbox in the column heading and then click the Remove Assignment button. To completely delete a previously registered device from the system, click the adjacent Select checkbox and then click the Delete button.

    If you select all devices a Warning dialog is displayed asking you to confirm that you want to remove all records that match the search criteria.

  • Device ID links to the Device Details page

  • Assign date - Date and time device was assigned

  • Serial Number - The unique device identifier

  • Device type - The type/make of the device such as VASCO, Email, etc

  • Status - Active/Lost/Damaged/Temporarily disabled/Deactivated device type

    An Active device can be used in device authentication.

    If a device is reported lost, stolen, damaged, or temporarily disabled, it must be flagged accordingly. A Lost or Damaged device can no longer be used for authentication and the cardholder must be issued with a new device.

    A Temporarily disabled device allows administrators to generate a new backup token.

    Deactivated device type indicates that the issuer has disabled support for this device.

  • Mark as -

    • Lost - click to change the status of the selected device to lost.
    • Damaged - click to change the status of the selected device to damaged.
    • Temporarily disabled - click to change the status of the selected device to temporarily disabled.
  • Generate Backup Token link is only shown when the card's primary authentication device is marked as temporarily disabled. Providing the cardholder with a backup token allows the cardholder to continue using the service while they wait for the replacement authentication device to arrive.

    The application currently supports two mechanisms for generating backup tokens: a replacement password (the default) and SMS.

    A replacement password is a static password that can be used as the second factor of authentication for a limited time and for a limited number of times. Using a static password will not be as secure as using an authentication device. Administrators should only issue backup tokens if allowed by the issuer's security policy and if in line with the issuer's requirements for identifying a cardholder.

    A more secure alternative is to use SMS as the backup token, if supported by the issuer device settings. This allows the admin to temporarily switch the cardholder's authentication process to SMS authentication. The cardholder will need to provide a mobile number to which the second factor of authentication will be sent via SMS.

    Note that the first SMS batch is not sent immediately. The SMS is sent when the cardholder attempts to perform their next authentication. They may have to wait a few minutes, once they attempt to login next time, for the batch SMS to arrive. Once they receive the first batch SMS, they will continue to receive replacement batch SMS tokens when they use up all the numbers in their current batch.

Device Management provides the option to manually assign a new or existing device to the card, or delete an existing device. This is useful for call centre assisted registration of cards.
