CIM: FSA/HSA Cards

kevinfairchild — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 15:18:17 GMT

Our merchant account is set up to allow charging Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) cards.

These cards operate through the Visa, MasterCard, and Discover brands.

Is there any way to distinguish, based on CIM data, whether a paymeny profile record is a standard credit card versus an FSA/HSA card?

Hi kevinfairchild,

Authorize.Net accepts any payment card with one of the major card brand logos as if it were a credit card. Regardless of the card type (debit, prepaid, FSA, HSA, etc.) we will always treat it as a CREDIT transaction and have no way of differentiating these card types.

Thanks,

Joy
