creditPass
1. Introduction
CreditPass is a third party Fraud Detection provider that can be accessed via the Nexi Payengine Platform.
Its system provides access to several credit information agencies/bureaus in Germany, to check credit-worthiness and account, personal and address details, etc.
The merchant can have several checks performed, based on specific criteria configured in his creditPass account.
|
Not all checks available at creditPass can be performed via the Nexi Payengine integration. It is only possible to run checks which are performed online. Nexi Payengine only acts as a technical gateway by forwarding data to creditPass in order to have it checked, and by returning the result of the check performed by creditPass to the Merchant. Nexi Payengine cannot be held liable for the result of the check performed by creditPass. |
Activation
In order to use creditPass via Nexi Payengine, you need to have the ELV payment method configured. The configuration cannot be done by yourself. We invite you to contact the Payengine Team in order to configure your account.

2.3 Transaction feedback
A check with creditPass will result in a score, as well as a recommendation, which can have one of the following values:
| creditPass recommendation |
| 0 : authorised |
| 1 : not authorised |
| 2 : check manual |
| -1 : no answer |
|
If the transaction is considered to be fraudulent, it will be refused and have the status "2 - Refused"; the merchant cannot determine dynamic behaviour based on the score returned by creditPass. |
This information is contained in the Virtual Ticket provided by creditPass and integrated into the transaction details, in your Nexi Payengine account.
FAQs
The time to activate a payment method depends on the following factors:
- It generally takes the acquirer or bank about a week to complete your affiliation. If you already have an affiliation, the activation takes a few days.
- Some payment methods require additional checks before they can be activated, e.g. in case of 3-D Secure, which is requested directly at VISA or MasterCard (and not at the acquirer).
