Fiserv Cardnet North

Cardnet is the North (CES) front-end settling to the North (PTS) back-end — terminal capture. Board it like any Fiserv terminal (see the Fiserv Overview for the shared shape, SRS, and UMF coverage) using the Cardnet North processor config. Note the distinct MID/TID formats.

Capture & settlement

Terminal capture (North PTS). Same as Nashville North — the gateway holds the batch and submits at cutoff. Boarding must match the host's configured capture mode.

Gotchas

  • Different front-end, different Group ID (30001). Cardnet is not the Nashville front-end — it has its own Group ID and its own MID/TID formats.
  • 12-digit MID, 6-char alphanumeric TID. These formats differ from the 7-digit Nashville/Omaha values — copy them exactly from the VAR packet.
  • ⚠️ MID/TID reversal risk. If the MID is boarded as the TID (or vice-versa) and that reversed combo is live for another merchant, funds route to the wrong account. Confirm deposits before going live.
  • settlement_mid usually equals the MID for Cardnet; omit it and Koard copies mid.
