Automatic Billing Updater (ABU)

Mastercard^® Automatic Billing Updater

ABU is a convenient service that updates MasterCard® numbers and expiration dates that are on file and applied to recurring payments, like gym memberships and utility payments. When you are opted-in to ABU and the card number changes or the card expires, it is automatically updated in the merchant’s database so there is no interruption in auto-payments. For your convenience, you are automatically opted-in to ABU. To cancel ABU, you must opt-out. If you would like to opt-out, or if you are currently opted-out and would like to opt-in, please complete the online form below to update your preferences.

Please be advised that merchants are not mandated to participate in the ABU Service. Only participating merchants will receive the updated information and can choose the frequency at which they check for updated payment information. To avoid service disruption, you should check with your merchant to ensure your card information has been updated even if you remain opted-in to ABU.

If you have any remaining questions about MasterCard® ABU, please give us a call at 800.621.0287.
