Blocking card issuing countries


When setting up the security on your account you are able to block specific Card Issuing Countries from processing transactions through your account.

Once blocked any transactions attempted on your account from cards issued in these countries will be rejected without any funds being taken from the shopper.

A blocked card issuing country will reject any transactions that are attempted using a card that is issued from the country you have added to your list.

How do you block a card issuing country?

We are able to block transactions from countries based on the card number that is being used.

Each card originates from a country and we use the first 9 digits of a card to verify the country it was issued in.  Once the country has been added to the list we will then block any card ranges from the country you have selected.
