Real-Time Account Updater and batch account updaters serve the same purpose of keeping payment card information up-to-date. However, they differ in their approach and timing:
Real-Time Account Updater: This service updates card information as soon as any changes are detected, or during payment processing, ensuring that all transactions are processed with the latest information available. It provides a more seamless and hassle-free payment experience for both customers and merchants.
Batch Account Updaters: Batch updates typically occur on a scheduled basis, such as daily or weekly. Card information is updated in bulk, which means there may be a delay between the cardholder’s update and its reflection in your payment system. Batch updates are less immediate compared to real-time updates. The choice between these two methods depends on your business needs and preferences.
Automated account updates, help reduce card declines by ensuring that the payment information used for transactions is always current. Here’s how it helps:Reduced declines:

Automatic updates via Real-Time Account Updater ensure that the latest card details are used, reducing the likelihood of declines due to expired cards or other issues.

Increased revenue: Fewer declined transactions mean you capture more revenue and sales opportunities, as customers are less likely to abandon their purchases due to declined payments.
Reduced manual effort: Merchants don’t need to manually update card information or contact customers for updates, saving time and resources.
