Mastercard Automatic Billing Updater API

Number of APIs: 4

Automatic Billing Updater (ABU) is a web service that provides access to updated account credentials (cards). This can be leveraged by Merchant/Acquirers/Payment Service Providers to ensure that they always have their customers’ most up-to-date card credentials on file; the main benefit being a big reduction in declines for recurring and card-on-file payments. This service can be used in two different ways: pulling updates or having updates pushed to an endpoint on the Merchant/Acquirers/Payment Service Provider’s system for account numbers they are watching.
