Enhancements

Cardholder Name Validation: Addressed verification services to include cardholder first and last name for Visa, Discover, American Express, and MasterCard during authorization requests. This ensures better validation and compliance across different networks.
Vortex on AWS: Improved the CryptoBroker API for pin transactions to support Vortex on AWS. This introduces production redundancy and the ability to spin up separate environments for development, QA, and UAT.
BIN Lookup Service: Updated the BIN lookup service to use the BINDB API instead of a flat file, improving data quality. Enhanced logic ensures correct 8-digit BIN retrieval.
Key Cache Enhancement: Fixed issues with Discover and American Express key cache to ensure proper encryption key refresh and prevent payment failures.
Support for Replication Groups: Both Address and BIN services were enhanced to support replication groups, ensuring improved data availability and consistency.

Network Validation: Fixed an issue where direct broker transactions lacked proper network validation, preventing incorrect routing of transactions (e.g., American Express transactions being routed to Visa).
RND Environment Stability: Addressed instability in the RND environment that affected payment processing for Discover and American Express, as well as other errors.
Settlement File Generation: Fixed issues related to settlement file generation, including missing files for manual cutoff and waiting processes.
Decimal Handling in Settlement File: Corrected handling of decimal values for lineItems.quantity in settlement files to ensure proper file generation.

Discover AID and Static Data Issue: Resolved an issue where Vortex Payments used static data for processor and Discover acquiring IDs. Now, values are correctly determined based on the PriorityPayment DB and lookup tables.
Trans File Data Content Issue: Fixed a problem with the Vortex PROD Trans file abending due to improper input of product descriptions, where hard returns caused the file to reject.
