The Montvale, N.J.-based Debit Network Alliance announced it has deployed DNA Shared Debit AID, an application identifier (AID) for chip cards that allows issuers to offer their cardholders non-globally branded debit cards.

According to DNA, which is composed of 10 leading U.S. debit networks, DNA Shared Debit AID allows merchants to choose to accept non-globally branded debit cards at the POS, as well as how they route their transactions. The issuance of non-globally branded debit cards allows issuers to control costs by lowering transaction fees.

Acquirers, acquirer processors and merchants accepting DNA chip cards must certify ATM and POS terminals by submitting a compliant terminal test report to the DNA for approval.
