AU Batch File Structure

TokenEx takes on the heavy lifting of creating the Account Updater file format required by Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, allowing our clients to send us a simple . csv file containing tokenized card numbers and expiration dates. The Account Updater response file is then returned in the same format.

The AU file you send to TokenEx should contain a token, expiration date, and sequence number (optional) in the format outlined below.

info

An AU response will return in approximately 3 business days with the initial data plus any new tokens, expiration dates, and response messages.

The Sequence Number* can only contain ASCII characters.
