2.14: Require Method URL

This test ensures that the merchant is allowing sufficient time (10 seconds) for the issuer to complete device data collection.

Card Numbers

The Method URL process runs before the authentication request to ensure device data is collected properly. The enrollment check of the card account should not start until after the device data collection (DDC) response is received. This test verifies that there is enough time to collect the BIN of the issuer and to transmit it. This test attempts to collect the nine-digit BIN of the card number and verifies that the delay between the DDC request and the response is at least 7 seconds long. The test fails when fewer than nine digits of the BIN are collected or when the delay between the DDC request and response is too short in duration.
Do not run this test when your system does not collect device data. When device data is not collected, an older version of the EMV 3-D Secure protocol is automatically used, and the transaction is automatically assessed as a higher risk.

C
. With the failure, a warning message opens to explain the cause of the test failure.
