Data Exchange API provides specific data points on an account number, enabling merchants to make better decisions during a transaction when considering available authentication options.

• Allows the integrator to pass the full account number via a server-side JSON request to Cardinal instead of passing account number on the frontend.

• Provides real-time data prior to authentication to help further inform merchants of the issuer capabilities before executing the transaction.
