SAN FRANCISCO, CA \u2013 May 14, 2020<\/b> \u2014Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) today announced that 28 new partners will be joining <\/span>Visa Token Service<\/span><\/a> as credential-on-file (COF) token requestors. These new partners will help make digital transactions more secure by tokenizing both one-time and recurring payments made with Visa credentials. Tokenization replaces a cardholder\u2019s 16-digit Visa account number with a token that only Visa can unlock, protecting the underlying card number from fraudsters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

New partners joining Visa Token Service include acquirer gateway and technology partners <\/span>Assist<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Aurus<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>BlueSnap<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Braspag<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Bambora<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>DPO PayGate<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>eComCharge<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Fat Zebra<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>eGHL<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Infinitium<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>iPay88<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Iveri<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>LiqPay\/PrivatBank<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Mail.ru<\/b><\/a>,<\/b> Moneris<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>One Inc.<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Omise<\/b><\/a>,<\/b> Payture<\/b><\/a>,<\/b> Payvision<\/b><\/a>, <\/span>Portmone<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>RBK.Money<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Spreedly<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Tickets Travel Network EESTI<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Tranzzo<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>WalletDoc<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>WayForPay<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>Windcave<\/b><\/a>, <\/b>and<\/span> Yandex.Money<\/b><\/a>. <\/b>Once certified, these 28<\/span> partners will be able to tokenize credential-on-file digital payments on behalf of their merchant and payment clients for an additional level of security.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to enhancing security, tokenization also helps reduce friction in the payment process, because customers do not have to manually update stored card information if their Visa card is lost, stolen or expires. Instead, financial institutions can automatically update expired or compromised payment credentials. This can reduce missed payments for merchants, and help consumers avoid unwanted late payment fees or charges.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than two-thirds (69%) of US consumers choose to store a card-on-file or have recurring billing set up with merchants<\/span>. Increasingly, these merchants are choosing tokenization to make their customers\u2019 online shopping and recurring digital payments less susceptible to fraud, with Visa adding more than 150 token requestor partners to Visa Token Service in the last five years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cConsumers are shifting more rapidly than ever to digital-first commerce, no matter what they\u2019re buying, and tokenization is one of the most effective tools Visa uses to fight fraud and improve the digital payment experience,\u201d said Ansar Ansari, senior vice president, digital payment products, Visa. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen a fraud reduction rate of 26% for digital transactions processed through Visa Token Service compared to traditional online card transactions<\/span>2<\/span>. That\u2019s impressive, and these new partners will only add to the momentum.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The expansion of Visa Token Service comes as the service has achieved rapid growth for its credential-on-file (COF) tokenization efforts, with more merchants and retailers moving to adopt the secure technology. Since the <\/span>launch of the Visa Token Service<\/span><\/a> in 2014, Visa has added more than 150 global token requestors\u2014including mobile and wearable manufactures, issuer wallets, online merchants, payment service providers and acquirers\u2014from 137 markets onto the token platform.\u00a0 Visa recently announced participants in <\/span>Visa Token Service (VTS) are estimated to process a combined digital payment volume of $1 trillion<\/span><\/a>3<\/span>, marking a significant opportunity in its efforts to make digital payments more secure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The addition of these new acquirer gateways and token requestors will bring additional scale globally and support Visa\u2019s commitment to security and convenience of online and mobile payments from both traditional eCommerce as well as credential-on-file transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n
