⚠️ The Reality Gap

What Visa publishes
  • Merchant "Excessive": 2.20% (→ 1.50% in Apr '26)
  • Fines: $8 merchants, $4 acquirers per TC15/TC40 counted
  • Enumeration watch: 20% ratio + 300k attempts
What actually gets you cut
  • Acquirer internal limits: 0.30–0.40%
  • TC40 + TC15 can count twice for one fraud event
  • Same‑month automation (RDR/CDRN & CE3.0) required

Industry Reality: While Visa's official thresholds are higher, many acquirers enforce internal limits around 0.30-0.40% to protect their portfolios. This is market practice, not an official Visa requirement.

💡 Aha: Internal acquirer controls (~0.30–0.40%) matter more than public thresholds.See exact settings →

Regional specifics — LAC runs at 1.50% from program start; CEMEA/MENA uses a lower count gate (≈150) plus ≥$75k value. Minimum count for most regions: 1,500 combined TC40+TC15 per month. Acquirer portfolio minimum: 1,500.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the VAMP ratio?+
A monthly, same‑month CNP metric: (TC40 fraud reports + all TC15 disputes) ÷ settled sales. One fraud event can appear twice (TC40 then TC15), inflating ratios vs. legacy programs.
What thresholds are active now?+

Merchants (US/EU/CA/APAC): 2.20% today, tightening to 1.50% on Apr 1, 2026. LAC runs at 1.50% from start. CEMEA/MENA: 2.20% but with a ~150 count + ≥$75k value gate. Most regions also require a minimum monthly count (often 1,500 combined TC40+TC15).

What about acquirers?+
Portfolio thresholds: Excessive 0.70% and Above Standard 0.50%. Minimum portfolio count: 1,500. Most acquirers enforce internal merchant limits around 0.30–0.40% to protect their portfolio.
When do fines apply and how much?+
Advisory period ends Sep 30, 2025. From Oct 1, 2025 Visa applies ~$8 per count for "Excessive" merchants and ~$4 per count for acquirer "Above Standard" (begins Jan 1, 2026). Some regions offset fees where unsecured‑dispute fees already apply.
How do we lower our VAMP ratio?+
Automate same‑month actions: pre‑dispute (RDR/CDRN) to exclude TC15s, and CE3.0 to exclude eligible TC40s. Align fraud + CX ops; optimize descriptors; monitor in real time.
