We’re excited to announce the overall availability [1] of legal responsibility shift for Visa system tokens for Google Pay.
For Mastercard system tokens the legal responsibility already lies with the issuing financial institution, whereas, for Visa, solely eligible system tokens with issuing banks within the European area profit from legal responsibility shift.
What’s legal responsibility shift?
If legal responsibility shift is granted for a transaction, the duty of protecting the losses from fraudulent transactions is shifting from the service provider to the issuing financial institution. With this variation, qualifying Google Pay Visa transactions finished with a tool token will profit from this legal responsibility shift.
How you can know if the legal responsibility was shifted to the issuing financial institution for my transaction?
Eligible Visa transactions will carry an eciIndicator worth of 05. PSPs can entry the eciIndicator worth after decrypting the fee methodology token. Retailers can verify with their PSPs to get a report on legal responsibility shift eligible transactions.
