Vortex Release Version (June 9, 2025)

• Updated the Vortex Omaha settlement file naming convention to meet file transfer standards by capitalizing both “T”s in “TapTrans.” The file name now appears as TapTrans-settlement-eos-firstdata-8076-V2PB, aligning with established naming requirements for downstream systems and ensuring successful transfers.
• Resolved incorrect data formatting in Discover Apple Pay transactions by adjusting key transaction fields. Field 61 Position 1 now maps the HomePC value to “No Terminal Used,” and Position 8 is set to “Id Verified” when applicable. These changes align with Discover’s fraud detection standards and reduce the likelihood of valid transactions being flagged as fraudulent.

Impact

These updates strengthen transaction integrity and improve interoperability across settlement and authorization flows. The corrected settlement file naming ensures seamless file transfers with external systems, reducing manual remediation efforts. Adjustments to Apple Pay field mappings enhance fraud rule compliance with Discover, supporting a smoother and more reliable user experience for wallet-based payments.
