Visa compliance and acceptance guidelines
Becoming a Visa-accepting merchant is a straightforward process and we will help you succeed. However, there are a few requirements that you will need to know:
- All merchants accepting Visa have a responsibility to adhere to the law. As it relates to accepting Visa products, merchants must accept Visa products for legal transactions only.
- Merchants that sell age-restricted products, such as alcohol and tobacco, must have in place processes and controls to ensure that all associated laws are honoured.
- Merchants should be aware that possession of a Visa card or submission of Visa account information does not signify that the cardholder is of legal age to purchase age-restricted products.
- The issuance of Visa cards is not restricted to individuals over 18 years of age.
Accept contactless payments
If you want to accept contactless, your acquirer can tell you what's involved.
The advantages include:
- Quicker service
- Fewer queues
- Less potential for till errors or fraud
With contactless, more customers can flow through your stores, and they can expect a better, quicker service. It's also easy to install and offers the highest levels of security.
