Account Name Inquiry

[timhuckle]

The documents for Payment Account Validation (https://developer.visa.com/capabilities/pav/docs-getting-started) refers to Account Name Inquiry (ANI) and does not reference geographical and/or general availability.   I note the reference to AVS and CVV2 in UK; but nowhere in the docs that I can see does ANI get referenced specifically.  I have tried emailing developer@ regarding this but no reply. 

The sandbox test data contains no reference to test names either. 

If I send the following to https://sandbox.api.visa.com/pav/v1/cardvalidation with MLE enabled:-

{

  systemsTraceAuditNumber: '743720',

  cardCvv2Value: '022',

  primaryAccountNumber: '4895070000003551',

  retrievalReferenceNumber: '015221743720',

  cardExpiryDate: '2040-10',

  addressVerificationResults: { street: '900 Metro Center Blv', postalCode: '94404' },

  cardHolderNameVerification: { lastName: 'Test', firstName: 'John' }

}

The response returns an empty result for cardHolderNameVerification.Result

{"transactionIdentifier":127188079235756,"approvalCode":"12AB54","actionCode":"00","responseCode":"5","addressVerificationResults":"Y","cvv2ResultCode":"M","cardHolderNameVerificationResult":{}}

Please advise the availability of ANI,  is it alpha/beta/GA and are card issuers likely to support it or is it enforced?  A very useful service to prevent third party payments within the financial services industry if it is available.
