Fast Access

Use Fast Access to quickly disburse funds to a shopper, meaning they'll receive the funds within 30 minutes.

Fast Access is currently available for Visa payouts from Visa Direct, and Mastercard payments from Mastercard Send. The process is very similar for both Visa and Mastercard, but there are some differences.

How it works

Prerequisite:

  1. Submit aCard checking requestto see whether the shopper's issuing bank can process Fast Access. This is for Visa Direct only. If you use Mastercard Send, go direct to step 2.
  2. Submit aFast Access Disbursement request, there is one type for Visa Direct, another type for Mastercard Send:
    1. If the shopper's bank supports Fast Access, and the scheme approves the request, the shopper receives the funds within 30 minutes.
    2. If the shopper's bank doesn't support Fast Access, and the scheme approves the request, the shopper will receive the funds in the standard payout time scales (usually 1-3 business days).
  3. We'll send the request to the scheme.
  4. We'll return the outcome to you

    Note: If there is no conclusive response from the scheme we return a pending outcome. We continue to query the scheme and update the payment status when we get a conclusive response. You need to set upOrder Notificationsso you are aware of payment status updates for pending payments.

The payment flow

We have introduced new payment statuses for Fast Access:

Fast Access flow

StatusMeaning
PUSH_REQUESTEDWe've received the Fast Access disbursement request.
PUSH_PENDINGWe've sent the Fast Access disbursement request to Visa Direct/Mastercard Send, and we're waiting for a response. PUSH_PENDING transactions usually update to PUSH_APPROVED or PUSH_REFUSED within 45 minutes for Visa Direct, and within 10 minutes for Mastercard Send. If no definitive resolution is received within 48 hours then transactions move to an error state.

Note: Never re-submit transactions with a PUSH_PENDING status as this may cause a duplicate payment that cannot be cancelled or reversed. Once sent to Visa, the push cannot be cancelled. Mastercard have a way to reverse duplicate transactions, but it's much easier to avoid duplicate transactions in the first place.

PUSH_APPROVEDVisa Direct or Mastercard Send have approved the Fast Access disbursement request.
Your shopper will receive funds within 30 minutes if their issuer is Fast Access enabled, or within standard timescales if not.
PUSH_SETTLEDThe transaction has been reconciled with Visa or Mastercard's daily reporting.
PUSH_REFUSEDThe Fast Access disbursement request was refused. Some of the reasons could be:
  • The card issuer declined the disbursement
  • Visa or Mastercard declined the request because the issuing bank did not respond
  • The transaction type is not allowed for the requesting or recipient country
ERRORSome of the possible errors could occur because:
  • We received a conclusive response from Visa or Mastercard that confirms the request failed
  • We didn't get a conclusive response from Visa within 48 hours (20 minutes for Mastercard Send).

Note: If a response is not received from Visa Direct within 2 minutes the transaction status changes to PUSH_PENDING. The same thing happens to Mastercard Send transactions, but the time taken is 30 seconds. We will contact Visa Direct and Mastercard Send for 48 hours to try to obtain a conclusive response.

Card check

Note: At present, Card check is not available for Mastercard Send.

To check if a shopper's bank can accept Fast Access, send the following inquiry to us. For information about the parameters, seeReference.

Note: You can include a PAN,shopper tokenor amerchant tokenin your inquiry.

Disbursement

To payout to a shopper's card, submit the below request:

  • If the shopper's issuing bank supports Fast Access, and the request is approved, they'll be paid within 30 minutes

  • If the issuing bank does not support Fast Access, the payout will be paid in the standard time frame. For information about the parameters, seeReference.

    Note: Visa Direct only - You can include ashopper tokenor amerchant tokeninstead of the PAN in your disbursement request.

Data validation - Mastercard Send

ScenarioBehaviour
Merchant address1 contains only a numeric value e.g. "1"WPG response is "merchant.address.address1 field must not contain only digits."
Recipient address contains only a numeric value e.g. "1"

Note: To produce the recipient address, WPG concatenates address1, address2, and address3. We use the recipient address to perform validation.

WPG response is "recipient.address.address1 field must not contain only digits."
Sender address contains only a numeric value e.g. "1"

Note: To produce the sender address, WPG concatenates address1, address2, and address3. Use this sender address to perform validation.

WPG response is "sender.address.address1 field must not contain only digits."

Visa Direct Merchants and shoppers based in Canada only

If you are a merchant based in Canada, or one of your cardholders uses a card issued in Canada, then you must include an address set of fields with the disbursement request.

Merchants outside Canada making disbursements to cards issued outside Canada can include address information, but there is no requirement to do so. See the table:

Merchant domicileCard issuer countryAddress data
CanadaCanadaMandatory
CanadaRest of the worldMandatory
Rest of the worldCanadaMandatory
Rest of the worldRest of the worldOptional

An example of this code with an address set of fields is in the Request - Visa Direct Canada only drop-down below.

Fast Access Payouts to mobile wallets - Visa Direct only

Prerequisite: You're able to access the Device Payment Account Number (DPAN) for Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay.

You can make Fast Access Visa Direct payout transactions to cards stored in the Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Google Pay mobile wallet. To do this, you need to access the Device Payment Account Number (DPAN) by decrypting the payload that comes from Apple, Samsung or Google.

Payouts to a mobile wallet work in exactly the same way as a standard Fast Access payout, with the exception that you need to provide the DPAN within the <cardNumber> parameter in your request. For more information, seeApple Pay,Samsung PayandGoogle Pay.

Order Notifications

To correctly handle scenarios for timeouts and PUSH_PENDING statuses that are later updated you must useOrder notificationsso your system is up-to-date with our statuses.

Notification example:

Here's an example of a PUSH_APPROVED notification containing the <schemeResponse> data from Visa. If we receive it for the event, we'll add it to the notification:

Disbursement request failure

If you submit a disbursement request and do not get a response, or receive a response other than PUSH_APPROVED or PUSH_REFUSED, then you must not re-submit the request as this could result in a duplicate payout which cannot be cancelled.

Instead you should wait until you receive an Order notification that the status has been updated. This usually arrives within 45 minutes and will be PUSH_APPROVED or PUSH_REFUSED, but it may take longer.

If you receive an ERROR response or notification you should contact Worldpay for this to be investigated.
