Visa's New Fraud Rules Could Kill Your Store

Visa’s VAMP rules are here and they’re reshaping how online businesses handle fraud, chargebacks, and card testing. In this episode, Maria Sparagis (with over 20 years in payment processing) breaks down exactly what the Visa Acquirer Monitoring Program (VAMP) is, how it affects merchants, and what you must do to stay compliant.

What's Covered:

✅ What Visa’s VAMP rules mean for your business

✅ How acquirers are passing fraud liability to you

✅ The tools you should already be using to prevent disputes and card testing

✅ Why 3DS (3D Secure) is your new best friend—especially for high-ticket or international orders

✅ How AVS, CVV, and IP filters can make or break your fraud defenses

✅ The underrated risk of confusing billing descriptors

✅ What to know about chargeback alerts like RDR & Ethoca

✅ And what you need to do today to keep your payment processor happy

💸 Fraud prevention isn’t optional anymore. Get ahead of the curve before Visa or your processor shuts you down.
