Abstract

Provides requirements for a common interface enabling messages to be exchanged between systems adopting a variety of application specifications. It also provides guidelines for the structure, format and content of messages.

Scope

This part of ISO 8583 specifies a common interface by which financial transaction card-originated messages can be interchanged between acquirers and card issuers.
It specifies message structure, format and content, data elements and values for data elements. The method by which settlement takes place is not within the scope of this part of ISO 8583.
NOTE With the proliferation of technology available to financial institutions to offer services to customers, a range of tokens (financial transaction cards, digital certificates etc.) now exist for identifying account relationships. In order to maintain clarity, this part of ISO 8583 will continue to refer only to financial transaction cards as the token. However, readers should be aware that the actual token issued by a financial institution may be different.
