What it means for the transaction
- No track or chip data, so there is no CVV1/iCVV or cryptogram to check; CVV2/CVC2 and address verification are the main checks.
- Keyed card-present transactions carry more fraud risk and usually a higher interchange rate than chip or contactless.
- If a chip card failed and the PAN was keyed instead, Mastercard expects 79 (fallback) rather than 01.
How 01 appears in DE 22
In field 22 of ISO 8583:1987 and of the Visa and Mastercard formats, the first two digits are the PAN entry mode and the third is the terminal's PIN entry capability. EMV tag 9F39 carries only the two-digit entry mode. (ISO 8583:1993 replaced field 22 with a 12-character POS data code.)
| DE 22 | Meaning |
