Support for New UnionPay Credit Card BIN Range

Posted by Jim Allison on Dec 18, 2018 8:00:00 AM

China UnionPay (CUP) will be issuing credit cards to their customers in January 2019 with a new 8-series BIN range. An upcoming release of SpeedLine, available in early 2019, will support this new range. These cards use the Discover network for processing and will act like Discover cards when entered into SpeedLine.

Merchants using WorldPay (formerly Vantiv and Mercury Payments) accounts will be able to support these new cards automatically. Those using Monetra Payment System will have to enable the new cards. Instructions are below, and can be performed even before upgrading SpeedLine:

  1. From the Start menu click Monetra, and then Monetra Admin.
  2. Log in as MADMIN.
  3. Click merch users at the top left.
  4. Select the account in the list and then click Edit at the top right.
  5. Click the browse (…) button to the right of Card Types.
  6. Select the check box for the new CUP card type.
  7. Click Submit, and then Submit again.
