Send Data for Level II Discounting (I12)
Purpose: Use this screen to define whether the system sends level II discounting information to the service bureau during credit card deposits.
Yes/No field: Select this field to have the system send level II discounting information to the service bureau when you process credit card deposits.
When you process deposits, the system sends level II discounting information to the service bureau if:
• the action code is:
- B = conditional deposit
- D = deposit
- R = refund
• the method of payment is:
- MC = Mastercard
- VI = Visa
- AX = American Express
• the credit card number falls within a range of credit card numbers in the Level II Bin Range table. The Level II Bin Range table identifies those credit cards that are eligible for level II discounting. It is your responsibility to populate this table with data from the service bureau.
Populating the Level II Bin Range table: The Level II Bin Range table identifies those credit cards that are eligible for level II discounting. When populating this table, make sure the number of digits defined for a level II bin range matches the number of digits in the credit cards you wish to discount. The system does not evaluate the leading digits of the credit card number against the level II bin range level. If the number of digits defined for the level II bin range does not match the number of digits defined for the credit card numbers, the credit cards are not eligible for level II discounting.
The table below indicates the number of positions for the level II bin range, based on the type of credit card you wish discount.
For Credit Card: |
Level II Bin Range must be: |
Example |
VISA |
16 positions |
Create a level II bin range where the beginning number and ending number in the range is 16 positions. For example, if the level II bin range is 4788250000000000 - 4788260000000000, any VISA credit card that falls within this range, such as 4788250000121444, receives the level II discount. |
MasterCard |
16 positions |
Create a level II bin range where the beginning number and ending number in the range is 16 positions. For example, if the level II bin range is 553150000000000 - 553160000000000, any MasterCard credit card that falls within this range, such as 553151233011234, receives the level II discount. |
American Express |
15 positions |
Create a level II bin range where the beginning number and ending number in the range is 16 positions. For example, if the level II bin range is 34333000000000 - 34334000000000, any American Express credit card that falls within this range, such as 34333210934123, receives the level II discount. |
Credit card encryption: If you use credit card encryption, the credit card number in the CC Deposit Level II Bin table will not be encrypted because the information in this table is from an external system. See the Data Security and Encryption Guide for an overview.
Sending level II and III discounting information to the service bureau: When you process deposits, the system sends level II and level III discounting information to the service bureau if the credit card number falls within a range of credit card numbers in the Level II Bin Range table. The Level II Bin Range table identifies those credit cards that are eligible for level II and level III discounting. It is your responsibility to populate this table with data from the service bureau.

• YES = The deposit is eligible for level II and level III discounting.
• NO = The deposit is not eligible for level II and level III discounting.
Level II and level III discounting via point-to-point communication: Sending level II and level III discounting to the service bureau via point-to-point communication is unique to each integration; see Processing Authorizations and Deposits Using Point-to-Point Communication.
