Relaxed Requirements for Address Data and Expiration Date for AFTs

You can have your Cybersource account configured to enable relaxed requirements for address data and expiration date in your AFT request.

Relaxed Requirements for Address Data: Address Verification Service (AVS) compares portions of the billing address from the request message with address data on file at the issuing bank. Results are returned for the street address and for the postal code. Relaxed requirements for address data allow you to make address fields that are normally required, such as billing address, optional in your transaction request.
Relaxed Requirements for Expiration Date: The card expiration month and year from the request message are compared with the card expiration date on file at the issuing bank. Relaxed requirements for expiration date allow you to make expiration date fields optional in your transaction request.

To enable relaxed requirements for address data and expiration date, contact customer support to configure your account for this feature.
