Security Monitoring Tool Upgrades
Release Period: January and February 2024

If you look at the entries preceding this update, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the last update on the Ezypay platform was 9 months ago. That is far from the truth - the reality is that we average between 15 and 20 Production releases per month, so almost every business day there is a new feature, enhancement or bugfix going out.

Since the launch of PayTo in Australia last year there are over 50 banking institutions that are now live with PayTo processing. Westpac was the latest of the Big 4 banks to enable their customers with PayTo, meaning more Australian accounts can now transact via PayTo.

We are excited to announce that Ezypay has adopted Mastercard’s tokenised payment security technology in Hong Kong, following its successful implementation in Malaysia and Singapore. This advanced payment technology, Mastercard Digital Enablement Service for Merchants (MDES), replaces a customer’s physical card information, including the card number and expiry date, with an encrypted digital token that is unique and specific to each merchant. The token can be updated by the card issuer, allowing lost, expired, or replaced cards to be automatically updated and processed – greatly improving payment data security and increasing the likelihood of a successful transaction.

We would like to inform you that on Monday, March 6th (7PM AEDT time), Ezypay will be performing a required upgrade to our Sandbox Environment. This will result in an estimated 2-hour disruption of services to the Sandbox environment.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Implementations Team.

As we know, PayTo is the latest innovation in Australian payments to initiate recurring real-time payments from customers' bank accounts. We have recently integrated this new payment method (PayTo) on our platform. To support this, we have made some changes to how the Hosted Payment Page works.

Credit, debit & prepaid card providers - Visa and Mastercard have mandated to extend their 6-digit Bank Identification Number (BIN) to an 8-digit BIN from April 2022. This means that from 1st April 2022 onwards, any new BINs issued will be an 8-digit BIN. Other card providers are not moving to 8-digit BINs yet.

We would like to inform you that we will be performing scheduled maintenance to improve the infrastructure and stability of the Ezypay V2 platform. This will result in a 1-hour disrupted service during the following period:
