The account entity’s main functionality is to hold the balance. It also functions as the link in case several cards share the same balance. For credit products, the account also represents the invoice level from which invoices are generated.
Use case | Balance | Available |
---|---|---|
Customer tops-up with 100€ | 100€ | 100€ |
10€ authorisation posted | 100€ | 90€ |
10€ financial transaction posted (same transaction that has been authorised) | 90€ | 90€ |
Customer withdraws 20€ from prepaid account | 70€ | 70€ |
Code | Status | Description |
---|---|---|
00 | Account OK | Account is open and in normal status. |
05 | Account Blocked | Temporary block on the account, preventing approval of authorisations. This status can be used instead of card level temporary block, if the target is to block usage of account and all cards that are linked to said account. Should be noted that updating account status to Account Blocked, will not change the status of linked cards. |
54 | Account To close | Starts account closing process. Can be set even if account has a balance. Is used if either cardholder or issuer decides to terminate the account. When account is set to this status, all linked cards with status “Card OK” will be updated to “Card Blocked” status. |
114 | Auto-Closed | After a card is set to “Account to close” status, the system triggers a time calculation and if after 32 days the balance is zero or status has not been changed to Account OK via API, the system will automatically update the status to Auto-Closed which indicates final termination. If there is a balance when the 32 days period ends, the system will postpone the status change until the day when balance is zero. After this status is set, the account can no longer be re-opened. When account is set to this status, all linked cards (regardless of status) will be updated to “Card Closed” status. |
99 | Account in Collection | When credit account is moved to collection (CL_COLL_ST property is updated to “Sent”), account status is also updated to Account in Collection. |
