creditPass
1. Introduction
CreditPass is a third party Fraud Detection provider that can be accessed via the Worldline Platform.
Its system provides access to several credit information agencies/bureaus in Germany, to check credit-worthiness and account, personal and address details, etc.
The merchant can have several checks performed, based on specific criteria configured in his creditPass account.
|
Not all checks available at creditPass can be performed via the Worldline integration. It is only possible to run checks which are performed online. Worldline only acts as a technical gateway by forwarding data to creditPass in order to have it checked, and by returning the result of the check performed by creditPass to the Merchant. Worldline cannot be held liable for the result of the check performed by creditPass. |
Activation
In order to use creditPass via Worldline, you need to have the ELV payment method configured. The configuration cannot be done by yourself. We invite you to contact our Customer Care department in order to configure your account.

2.3 Transaction feedback
A check with creditPass will result in a score, as well as a recommendation, which can have one of the following values:
| creditPass recommendation |
| 0 : authorised |
| 1 : not authorised |
| 2 : check manual |
| -1 : no answer |
|
If the transaction is considered to be fraudulent, it will be refused and have the status "2 - Refused"; the merchant cannot determine dynamic behaviour based on the score returned by creditPass. |
This information is contained in the Virtual Ticket provided by creditPass and integrated into the transaction details, in your Worldline account.
FAQs
The time to activate a payment method depends on the following factors:
- It generally takes the acquirer or bank about a week to complete your affiliation. If you already have an affiliation, the activation takes a few days.
- Some payment methods require additional checks before they can be activated, e.g. in case of 3-D Secure, which is requested directly at VISA or MasterCard (and not at the acquirer).
With Worldline Collect, you can activate several payment methods in one go.
An acquirer is a financial institution that processes payments from certain credit and debit cards. The acquirer is responsible for the financial part of transaction processing and Worldline is responsible for the technical part. In other words, without an acquirer the money will not be transferred to your bank account.
For every online payment method you want to add, you need an acceptance contract with an acquirer. If you’d like advice on which acquirer would be best suited for you and your region, please contact us. If you know which acquirer you want to work with, you can simply select them from the drown down list when adding a payment method in your account.
