Get Account Authorizations Update

‍As part of the release December 2023, Berkeley included a new field ‘auth_amount’ to the Get Account Authorizations endpoint. This field does not contain a sign (-) indicating if it is a positive or negative (credit or debit) amount. This may cause confusion to clients who are attempting to determine the type of transaction. We have taken the decision to add a sign to this field to denote the type of transaction. A negative sign (-) means the amount has been debited from the account..

Who does it impact: Any client using the new ‘auth_amount’ field in the Get Account Authorizations
Country: US and Canada
Client action required: For clients using the Get Account Authorizations API endpoint, please ensure that your system can handle signed values in the auth_amount field. Please refer here for more details.
