Automatic Billing Updater

What is Mastercard Automatic Billing Updater?

Mastercard’s Automatic Billing Updater is a service participating merchants can use to help ensure Member account changes – like new debit card numbers – cause as little disruption as possible to card-on-file transactions and automated payments.

What are card-on-file and automated payments?

Card-on-file transactions are payments processed using a card number you’ve stored with a merchant or service provider:

  • Websites with whom you’ve created an account and saved your credit card information:
    • Apparel websites
    • Online retailers (ex., Amazon)
    • Movies/music/eBook download services (ex., Netflix or Pandora)
    • Cashless transportation services (ex., Uber or Lyft)
    • Online payment service (ex., PayPal)
  • Pharmacies

Automated payments are recurring payments you set up with a merchant or service provider:

  • Landline or mobile phone service
  • Cable or satellite television service
  • Utilities
  • Homeowners’ association dues
  • Music subscriptions
  • Magazine subscriptions
  • Satellite radio subscriptions
  • Gym membership dues
  • Anti-virus software subscriptions
  • Motor club/roadside assistance dues
  • Insurance premiums
  • Recurring charitable donations

Will all of my payment information be automatically updated?

No. Automated Billing Updater is only available to participating merchants, and they can choose the frequency at which they check for updated payment information. To avoid late payments and penalties, you must check with your merchant to ensure your card information is updated.

This service only applies to recurring MasterCard check card payments. As a result, you will no longer have to contact the merchant to update your card information which will help prevent disruption of your recurring payments.

You may opt out of this feature at any time by contacting your local branch, call us at 713-595-3400 or info@usecreditunion.com.

How the MasterCard Automatic Billing Updater Works. The MasterCard Automatic Billing Updater offers flexibility, security, and processing options that take advantage of state-of-the-art MasterCard transmission technologies and ensure proper data distribution through six easy steps: 1. Issuers submit MasterCard account changes to the Automatic Billing Updater database. 2. Merchants who have registered for the program submit account number queries to their acquirers. 3. Acquirers submit these account queries to the MasterCard Automatic Billing Updater database. 4. MasterCard matches account queries to issuer submissions, then returns matches to acquirers. 5. Acquirers return matched account query records to the specific merchants. 6. Merchants can then update their billing files with the changed account information.
