Peter Tobin

  @Vivek I do understand what you are saying of course but it is very complex to send scripts to cards and to ensure scripts have been delivered and actioned.  Much easier to put the card control on the backend, decline the transaction and send the cardholder an immediate push notification as to why that happened.  It is common to the way that all consumer card controls are being implemented.
