Introduction to the `Token Management Service`

The Token Management Service (TMS) enables you to replace personally identifiable information (PII), such as the primary account numbers (PANs), with unique tokens. These tokens do not include the PII data, but act as a placeholder for the personal information that would otherwise need to be shared. By using tokens, businesses can provide a secure payment experience, reduce the risk of fraud, and comply with industry consumer security regulations such as PCI-DSS.

TMS links tokens across service providers, payment types, and channels for sellers, acquirers, and technology partners. TMS tokenizes, securely stores, and manages the primary account number (PAN), the payment card expiration date,

electronic check details,

and customer data. TMS also enables you to create a network token of a customer's payment card.

IMPORTANT

Due to mandates from the Reserve Bank of India, Indian merchants cannot store PANs. Use network tokenization instead.

You can manage sensitive data securely by creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting tokens through the TMS API.

TMS simplifies your PCI DSS compliance. TMS passes tokens back to you that represent this data. You then store these tokens in your environment and databases instead of storing customer payment details.

TMS protects sensitive payment information through tokenization and secures and manages customer data using these token types:

Customer tokens

Instrument identifier tokens

Payment instrument tokens

Shipping address tokens

These TMS tokens can be used individually, or they can be associated with one customer token:
