Please Note

MX™ Merchant is able to accept credit cards not issued in the U.S. In order to accept foreign cards, a merchant will need to turn off AVS validation. If a foreign card is used in a transaction, the AVS may deny the payment even if the card is in good standing with the issuing bank. Removing AVS validation can allow the payment to go through, though, the interchange rates may not be as favorable and AVS is a valuable fraud detection tool.
