MasterCard Automatic Billing Updater

MasterCard's Automatic Billing Updater (ABU) is a mandatory service that updated participating merchants that maintain card-on-file account information to process recurring or automatic customer payments, such as subscriptions, installments or utility payments.  ABU helps reduce the number of declined transactions due to card expirations, lost or stolen cards, and other account changes.

No.  Automatic Billing Updater is only available to participating merchants (they do not have to participate), and they can choose the frequency at which they check for updated payment information.
