If session.version provided by you does not match that stored against the session, the gateway will reject the operation with error.cause=INVALID_REQUEST.
See Making Business Decisions Based on Session Content.
Data consists of ASCII characters
Information about the payment type selected by the payer for this payment and the source of the funds.
Depending on the payment type the source of the funds can be a debit or credit card, bank account, or account with a browser payment provider (such as PayPal).
For card payments the source of funds information may be represented by combining one or more of the following: explicitly provided card details, a session identifier which the gateway will use to look up the card details and/or a card token. Precedence rules will be applied in that explicitly provided card details will override session card details which will override card token details. Each of these may represent partial card details, however the combination must result in a full and complete set of card details. See Using Multiple Sources of Card Details for examples.
Information about the source of funds when it is directly provided (as opposed to via a token or session).
For browser payments, the source of funds details are usually collected from the payer on the payment provider's website and provided to you when you retrieve the transaction details (for a successful transaction). However, for some payment types (such as giropay), you must collect the information from the payer and supply it here.
Contains card details
Enumeration
OPTIONAL
Type of the bank account associated with the card.
Provide this information for Maestro cards.
Value must be a member of the following list. The values are case sensitive.
CHECKING
SAVINGS
String
OPTIONAL
This field only applies to transactions that originate from an EMV capable terminal.
It contains selected EMV fields as provided by the terminal.
For the list of field tags to include (if provided by the terminal), see Card Present Payments. Requests with any other tags are rejected by the gateway.
Some of the tags represent data that can occur on explicit fields in this API. You can submit the value either in this field, or in both places. For example, the PAN can be presented as EMV tag 5A in this field, or included both the sourceOfFunds.provided.card.number API field and in EMV tag 5A in this field.
If you specify the EMV tag only, we can populate the explicit field in the API. Fields where this is supported have the text "This field corresponds to EMV tag <tag name>" in their field descriptions.
If you specify both places, there will be no population of the explicit field or validation that the data matches.
The API response will not contain PCI sensitive fields.
Data can consist of any characters
Expiry date, as shown on the card.
This field corresponds to EMV tag 5F24
Digits
REQUIRED
Month, as shown on the card.
Months are numbered January=1, through to December=12.
Data is a number between 1 and 12 represented as a string.
Digits
REQUIRED
Year, as shown on the card.

Data is a string that consists of the characters 0-9.
Masked digits
OPTIONAL
The Funding Primary Account Number (FPAN) of the payer's account in 6.4 masking format, for example, 000000xxxxxx0000.
You should use this value for display on confirmation or receipt pages presented to the payer.
RequestNormally you do not need to populate this field, as the gateway will populate this field in the session, and populate it into the payment request when you submit the payment using the session. You would only provide this value, if you had access to FPAN information that was not available to the gateway. On responses, the gateway populates it with a form that the payer would recognize (also explained in more detail below).
Retrieve session response
The gateway always populates this field with its best understanding of the masked FPAN.If you are showing PAN data from the session to the payer, then use this field rather than sourceOfFunds.provided.card.number from the session. This is because this field contains a PAN that the payer will recognize whereas sourceOfFunds.provided.card.number could contain a scheme token, or device PAN which the payer will not recognize. After the payment is processed, the gateway will populate the sourceOfFunds.provided.card.number in the payment response with its best understanding of the masked FPAN. You can show this value to the payer after the payment is complete. This logic also applies to the maskedFpanExpiry field.
Data is a string that consists of the characters 0-9, plus 'x' for masking
Expiry date, The expiry date of the Funding Primary Account Number (FPAN) in sourceOfFunds.provided.card.maskedFpan.

On request, populate this field based on the payment method you are using for the payment:- • Card: the account number embossed onto the card. This field corresponds to EMV tag 5A.
- • Device payment methods such as Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay, or Google Pay. Normally for device payments, you would populate sourceOfFunds.provided.card.devicePayment.paymentToken and the gateway will decrypt and extract this field. However, you can populate this field if you decrypt the payment token yourself. In this case use the Device PAN (DPAN) provided in the payment token.
- • Digital wallets such as Masterpass, Visa Checkout or Amex Express Checkout. In this case, provide the PAN retrieved from the wallet.
- • Scheme tokens such as MDES (Mastercard Digital Enablement Service). Supply the value called the "Token PAN".
- Response
On return, the card number will be populated in 6.4 masking format, for example, 000000xxxxxx0000. If you wish to return unmasked card numbers, you must have the requisite permission, set responseControls.sensitiveData field to UNMASK, and authenticate your call to the API using certificate authentication.
When a DPAN or scheme token was provided in the transaction request, then this field will represent the PAN of the associated payer's account (when supported by the acquirer). This is also referred to as the Funding PAN (FPAN).
Data is a string that consists of the characters 0-9.
This holds the PAN in the case where it is encrypted by the terminal using DUKPT key exchange.

If you provide this, the gateway will check that the decrypted PAN has these leading six digits. If the check fails, the gateway will reject the transaction.

This field corresponds to EMV tag 5F34
Data is a number between 0 and 999 represented as a string.
Enumeration
OPTIONAL
This field only applies if you collect cards from your payers, store them, and either you or your payers use the stored value for subsequent payments.
If you store using gateway tokenization then you can ignore this field, unless you do payments with both stored and non-stored cards. If you do both, then you must supply the NOT_STORED value for the non-stored case.
If you use Scheme Tokenization services like MDES and store the tokens provided, you have to provide the value STORED and if you pass the token value with out storing them, provide the value NOT_STORED.

For example, if the minimum spend amount is $100, the maximum spend amount is $500, and the incremental spend amount is $20, then the payer can redeem points for purchases between $100 and $500 in increments of $20. If the purchase is for $155 they can redeem $140 from rewards points and will need to pay the balance of $15 on their card.
