Bearing each of the above four positions in mind, an MTI will completely specify what a message should do, and how it is to be transmitted around the network. Unfortunately, not all ISO 8583 implementations interpret the meaning of an MTI in the same way. However, a few MTIs are relatively standard:

| 0110 | Issuer Response | Issuer response to a point-of-sale terminal for authorization for a cardholder purchase |

| 0121 | Authorisation Advice Repeat | if the advice times out |
| 0130 | Issuer Response to Authorization Advice | Confirmation of receipt of authorization advice |
| 0200 | Acquirer Financial Request | Request for funds, typically from an ATM or pinned point-of-sale device |

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
