Authorization Rail

  • • Online auth routes to the issuer first
  • • A timeout arms network stand-in, not a hard decline
  • • Reconciliation posts the advice to the real ledger

Stand-In Limits

  • • Approvals are bounded by per-card exposure caps
  • • Velocity and MCC rules run without the issuer
  • • Over-limit amounts decline rather than risk exposure

Advice + Terminal

  • • Advices retry until the issuer host returns
  • • Undeliverable advices expire against network TTL
  • • The issuer may reverse a stand-in force-post
