Gateways

  • Are Gateways required to be SIGIS certified?

    Gateways are only required to be SIGIS certified if they wish to use the SIGIS standards for IIAS transaction processing to support FSA / HRA cards for SIGIS certified merchants.  Gateways that are not SIGIS certified, that process FSA / HRA card transactions through their gateway will see high card declines as the issuer / plan administrator will not have the required information to approve the transaction per IRS regulations for support an IIAS system.
