“Penny testing” is common in the real world, and isn’t limited to verifying bank accounts. It’s more broadly used to describe testing with very small amounts in production. That’s my experience anyway, working with various payments processors and BaaSes.

All I know is when I was writing systems used by franchises/gas stations there was zero tolerance. Maybe BassSes are so bad at moving things to production they had to loosen that up.

That seems reasonable. I’m talking about testing APIs for performing a variety of different kinds of transactions, not just CC.
