Summary

In certain circumstances, markets require proprietary terminal functionality based on card proprietary data. For instance, a terminal in a specific market may be required by a local regulatory authority to offer specific services based on this information. This proprietary functionality is beyond the scope of EMVCo. This Specification Update Bulletin introduces a new data object with a tag in the EMVCo reserved range. The definition is therefore governed by EMVCo. However, the intention is to allow for proprietary use of the data object. This Specification Update Bulletin defines the rules that shall be respected if this new data object is to be used.
