Scheduled - To improve the VCAS service we’re updating how VCAS handles Mastercard Data Share Only transactions to align with Mastercard Identity Check requirements.

A Data Share Only message allows merchants to share data via EMV 3DS rails, providing authentication insights that may influence an issuer's decision to approve a transaction without requesting authentication. According to the EMVCo specification, issuers should not challenge Data Share Only transactions.

Starting November 7, 2024, VCAS will enable all Mastercard issuers to support the Data Share Only flow. After this date, issuers will observe VCAS responding on their behalf for these transactions to ensure a frictionless outcome; standard VCAS risk rules will be overridden.

Note: Liability for Data Share Only transactions remains with the merchant.

The response message (Ares) for these transactions (where 3DS Requestor Challenge Indicator field = 06 Data Share Only ) will be:

Transaction Status: I (Informational Only)
ECI: 06
AAV Leading Indicator: kN

This status and ECI will be reflected in VCAS reporting. No further action is needed from issuers to support this flow.

For more details on Mastercard’s requirements, please refer to the Mastercard Identity Check program guide which can be found on the Mastercard Connect portal.

Scheduled - As a follow-up to our previous communication, starting November 6th, 2024, access to the Merchant Portal will require multifactor authentication (MFA) on the login page for Cardinal. To ensure a smooth transition, please make sure you can authenticate and access your applications through the main portal dashboard.

Important Action Required: You must set up multifactor authentication (MFA) by downloading an authenticator app, such as HID, to your mobile device. This app will generate a one-time passcode (OTP) each time you log into the portals:

https://portal.cardinalcommerce.com
https://portalstaging.cardinalcommerce.com

Setup Instructions:

1. Log in to the merchant portal using your current username and password.
2. Follow the prompts to set up MFA.
- Download an authenticator app (e.g., HID).
- Follow the app's setup instructions.
- Scan the QR code displayed in the Cardinal portal with the app.
- Enter the OTP generated by the app to complete the setup.

Once set up, you will need to enter the OTP each time you log in. For detailed instructions, please refer to our Knowledge Article titled "MFA Setup Instructions".
