10x+ Performance Enhancement on Token Searching

January came with a huge performance enhancement on our Token Search and Token List endpoints, these are now returning blazing fast!

Token Searching since its launch has been a great way for engineers to have flexibility in how they find data for enabling new features that allow their internal dashboards to find sensitive data without ever touching it. These features typically enable support customers to validate that a caller knows the last 4 numbers or allow engineers to add metadata to their tokens to ensure it is findable when debugging or researching problems.

Reach out if you have a use case that needs to find your tokens based on data you can’t store!

Accept Custom Card Brands with Elements

It is becoming more common as organizations move into new markets or verticals that they need to accept niche branded cards or even customized closed-loop gift card BINs that aren’t typically recognized by payment processors. This is now easily enabled in our Elements by allowing companies to specify the BINs they'd like to also accept on top of our own:

const CUSTOM_VISA = {
  ...VISA,
    // Add new BIN pattern '8456' and maintain pre-existing ones
  patterns: [...VISA.patterns, 8456],
};

// removes pre-existing Visa CreditCardType
const CustomCardTypesList = DEFAULT_CARD_TYPES.filter(({ type }: CreditCardType) => type != 'visa' )

const cardNumberElement = BasisTheory.createElement('cardNumber', {
  targetId: 'cardNumberElement',
  // Adds filtered CreditCardType's list and custom visa CreditCardType
  cardTypes: [...CustomCardTypesList, CUSTOM_VISA]
