Visa's New Fraud Measures: What European Merchants Should Prepare For

Fraudology Podcast with Karisse Hendrick

Fraudology is presented by Sardine.

In this episode of Fraudology, Karisse Hendrick delves into the upcoming changes in Visa’s Acquirer Monitoring Program (VAMP) set to impact European merchants, acquirers, and payment processors. As Visa retires its Visa Fraud Monitoring Program (VFMP) and Visa Dispute Monitoring Program (VDMP) by April 2025, the new VAMP initiative introduces a more rigorous framework for managing fraud and disputes.

Effective January 2026, tighter chargeback thresholds will be in place, and acquirers will face greater scrutiny and potential fee increases. Merchants and acquirers alike must understand and prepare for these changes to mitigate risks and maintain compliance. Tune in to learn how this might reshape the e-commerce landscape in Europe, and possibly beyond.
