How registration works
The sponsor bank submits the registration, not you
Card schemes work with their members — banks. If you are a service provider or an agent, you are registered by the bank you work through. Our job is to prepare everything so the registration goes through without being sent back for clarification.
What we help with
02
Monitoring programs
Fraud and chargeback thresholds, including the Visa Acquirer Monitoring Program (VAMP). We help you stay out of these programs — or exit them.
03
Data security
PCI DSS compliance as a condition of card scheme programs. More on the PCI DSS page.
04
Inquiries and reviews
Responses to inquiries from the card schemes and the sponsor bank, preparing documents and evidence.
