Penny Value Simulator

The cent value of the transaction is what determines the response code in the testing environment. For example, a transaction made for an amount of $5.00 OR $1.00 will be approved. The response code returned for an amount other than those listed here is not predictable.

VISA Cards

  • Transactions values between $11.00 to $ 50.99, $60.01 to $119.99 and $130.01 to $150.00 will always be approved.
  • Transactions values between $51.00 to $60.00 will always be declined with ISO/RESP code 41/421
  • Transactions values between $120.00 to $130.00 will always be declined with ISO/RESP Code 54/482
Transactions from $0.00 to $9.99 use the following cent value table:

The simulator is not designed for load testing. Moneris Solutions asks that no excessive transaction volume be sent to the simulator. Should you wish to test all the penny values listed, we recommend placing at least a two second pause between each transaction request.
These responses may change without notice. Moneris Solutions recommends that you check back regularly for possible updates.
