Card scheme codes are for internal use only. They are included here as a reference for Fexco integration partners.
This page lists the card scheme codes used in DCC integrations. Two code sets apply depending on the context: a rate service response may include schemeCode, while the V-file transaction import format uses a two-digit numeric code in the UPI and JCB subrecord.

Rate service scheme codes

In Rate Service Connect, the exchangeRate.schemeCode field may be absent or null. When non-null, it is an integer. Use this code to identify the card scheme associated with the rate offer. It does not confirm that a payment transaction was processed. Handle responses where the field is absent or null without assuming a scheme code. The following table lists valid values for the schemeCode field:

V-file scheme codes

The CARD SCHEME CODE field appears as a two-digit numeric value in field 8 of the UPI and JCB subrecord (subrecord type 06) in the V-file transaction import format. It indicates the card brand and card type for each transaction row. Zero-fill this field when the card scheme does not apply to the record. The following table lists valid two-digit codes for the CARD SCHEME CODE field:
