Introduction to Card Control Groups

Card control groups control what the Cardholder can do with the card, as well as the various card usage fees that they receive. You need to enter the default card control groups on your Product Setup Form (PSF). Your Thredd Implementation Manager then ensures that these are configured on the system.

You can use the Update Card Control Groups API to you change the card groups assigned to the card at a later stage if needed.

The following table describes the Card Control Groups:

Group ID	Group	Description
0	limitsGroup	Velocity limit group which restricts the frequency and/or amount at which the card can be loaded or unloaded. You can view your current Limit Groups in Smart Client.
1	usageGroup	Controls where a card can be used; for example, POS or ATM.
2	recurringFeeGroup	Controls whether a card is charged a recurring fee, such as a monthly platform fee.
3	webServiceFeeGroup	Controls the fees charged for Web service usage. Different web services can have different fees associated with them.
4	authFeeGroup	Controls the card transaction authorisation fees.
5	mccGroup	Merchant Category Code (MCC) Group. The MCC is a four-digit number used by the Card Schemes to define the trading category of the merchant.
6	cardLinkageGroup	The Linkage Group set up in Smart Client controls various parameters related to linked cards. For details, check with your Implementation Manager.
7	calendarGroup	Controls when authorisations on a card are allowed. You can use this option to control when the card can be used. For example, to prevent usage on weekends or out of hours.
8	fxGroup	Controls the rates for FX currency conversions if the purchase currency is different from the card's currency.
