Adyen Integrates with Mastercard Account Updater Service

Adyen has announced its direct API integration with the Mastercard Account Updater service. Qualified merchants processing with Adyen globally can now increase revenue from card-on-file payments by automatically updating Mastercard accounts in real time. The direct API connection helps to prevent card declines due to account changes caused by expiration dates or new replacement card numbers, among other reasons. Microsoft and Twitter are among Adyen’s merchants using the Mastercard Account Updater service.

Adyen’s use of the Mastercard Account Updater API can be activated instantly with no merchant integration required. Adyen also provides merchants live performance data including authorisation rate impact by issuing bank and decline code.
