TransactionKeyDB synchronization
When each entity is registered through the Onboarding API, its regulatory data is automatically synchronized with TransactionKeyDB, the processing account, through EventBridge. This synchronization makes the acquirer information, including BINs and institution codes, and merchant information available to the authorization flow without manual intervention.Onboarding guides
