[BUG] payment_method_type for cards is null

[kashif-m]

Bug Description

payment_method_type is a sub category of payment_method for defining the the payment_method's type. This is useful for PMs like banks and wallets to differentiate between SEPA / BACS / ACH banks or APay / GPay wallets, and helpful in similar way for other PMs.

This field is sent in the request when the consumer is requesting for initiating a payment.

However, the consumer might not be aware of what's the type of the card (credit vs debit), that's why this field is optional for cards.

This field is expected to be populated for cards for known card BINs.

Expected Behavior

This field should be populated for known card BINs.

Actual Behavior

This field is empty for cards if payment_method_type was not specified in the request.

Steps To Reproduce

Make a card payment without passing payment_method_type
