/notification/alert vs /notification/alert/fx

[JavierSivack]

Hello folks, 

I want to understand what is the difference from the /notification/alert and /notification/alert/fx callbacks.

I tried to figure it out from docs and community but couldn't.

If you can explain me here I will appreciate it.

Thanks and regards,

Hi @JavierSivack ,

Just to confirm for our team to be able to provide a comprehensive answer, is the product you're using Visa Transaction Controls?

Looking forward to your response and helping you move forward!

Hi @JavierSivack,

I have reached out to our Foreign Exchange Rates product team to review your query. I'll get back soon.

Hi @JavierSivack,

The latter (/notification/alert/fx) has been created in response to a European regulation (EU-518) that requires European Issuers to inform cardholders of exchange rates charged for EU-to-EU cross-border transactions.

For the VTC product, all other alerts use the notification/alert callback.
