Digital Wallet Notifications

A great way to reduce fraud exposure is to notify your cardholders when someone has attempted to add their card to a Digital Wallet such as Apple Pay™. If you are integrated with Marqeta through Treasury Prime, the token-activation-request card event allows you to know when a card was attempted to be added to a Digital Wallet so that you can notify the cardholder.

Crafting a User Notification

In the networkdata of the token-activation-request, there is a token_service_provider sub-object that contains information about the token requestor that you can use to inform the notification that you send to the cardholder. Sending this notification allows the cardholder the opportunity to reach out immediately in the case of potential fraud.
