FAQ
Got VAMP Questions?
Get answers to the most common questions about Visa’s VAMP program and how to stay compliant.
What is VAMP?
Visa Acquirer Monitoring Program (VAMP) is Visa’s new fraud and dispute monitoring system, replacing older programs. It tracks chargebacks and fraud rates to ensure compliance.
How does VAMP affect merchants?
Merchants must maintain a dispute rate below Visa’s threshold (1.5%, later 0.9%). Exceeding the threshold can result in penalties and fines starting October 2025.
What are TC40 reports?
TC40 reports are fraud alerts from issuers about potentially fraudulent transactions. These reports now contribute to your VAMP fraud rate, even without a chargeback.
What happens if I exceed VAMP thresholds?
Exceeding the thresholds will result in fines of $10 per disputed transaction. You'll also need to take corrective actions to avoid future violations.
How can I monitor my VAMP rate?
Real-time monitoring through platforms like Fraud Deflect helps track and manage your VAMP rate. Alerts notify you when you’re approaching critical thresholds.
How does Fraud Deflect help with VAMP compliance?
Fraud Deflect offers tools for real-time monitoring, proactive dispute deflection, and detailed reporting. These features ensure that your VAMP rate stays within the compliant limits.
