Visa Expands Commercial Solutions Hub with Integration of Visa Accounts Receivable Manager

Wed, 27 May 2026 08:00:00 -0400

New integration allows issuers to send virtual card details to suppliers, helping automate virtual card adoption for suppliers at scale

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Visa Inc. (NYSE: V), a global leader in digital payments, today announced an expansion of the Visa Commercial Solutions Hub (VCS Hub), further strengthening how issuers and suppliers connect to scale virtual card programs. Through a new integration with Visa Accounts Receivable Manager (Visa AR Manager), eligible issuers gain built-in access to end-to-end processing designed to reduce operational friction and accelerate commercial card growth.

Virtual cards are among the fastest-growing payment methods in commercial payments yet scaling them remains complex. Issuers often face fragmented supplier connectivity, while suppliers are left with manual reconciliation and inconsistent payment flows. By bringing issuer and supplier networks together, by embedding access to Visa AR Manager in the VCS Hub, Visa is helping to simplify these connections and enable more automated, seamless payment experiences across the ecosystem.

Powering issuer growth through a unified commercial payments platform

Launched in 2025, VCS Hub is a globally available platform designed to help issuers support multiple commercial payment use cases through a single, scalable integration. By unifying Visa’s network capabilities, VCS Hub enables issuers to reduce technical complexity, accelerate time to market, and scale virtual card programs more efficiently across their commercial client portfolios.

“Issuers see strong demand for commercial card solutions, but scaling those programs can be unnecessarily complex,” said Gloria Colgan, SVP, Global Product, Commercial Solutions, Visa. “Visa Commercial Solutions Hub reduces that friction, making it easier to connect with suppliers, deliver new capabilities faster, and drive meaningful growth in commercial payments.”

Driving automation and unlocking scale

Now available in 69 geographies, Visa AR Manager, powered by proprietary AI capabilities, addresses key operational barriers that have historically limited virtual card adoption. Through this integration, issuers can send virtual card payments on behalf of their corporate buyers through Visa AR Manager. Visa AR Manager then provides a virtual card automation service to suppliers that reduces manual intervention, can accelerate reconciliation, potentially improving working capital outcomes for suppliers.

Early adopters of Visa AR Manager are already seeing measurable impact, including efficiency gains through increased automation. One customer reported an 89% reduction in days sales outstanding, realized a 300-basis-point net benefit, and enabled fully automated virtual card processing in under two weeks of implementation.

“Visa Accounts Receivable Manager brings true end-to-end automation to commercial payments,” said Abhishek, Global Head of B2B Acceptance, Visa. “By streamlining how payment and invoice data move between issuers and suppliers, we’re helping unlock the full growth potential of virtual card programs.”

Availability

The integrated capability for issuers is expected to launch in September 2026 and will be available at no additional cost to eligible VCS Hub clients, subject to applicable terms and geographic availability. *

Visa Threats Report: As Network Security Strengthens, Criminals Accelerate Shift to AI-Enabled Social Engineering

Wed, 20 May 2026 09:16:00 -0400

Spring 2026 Biannual Threats Report shows how strengthening payment security is pushing criminals toward AI-enabled social engineering

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Visa (NYSE: V), a world leader in digital payments, today released its Spring 2026 Biannual Threats Report, revealing that scams have become the fastest-growing source of consumer harm as criminals increasingly use artificial intelligence and social engineering to manipulate people into authorizing payments themselves.

The report draws on intelligence from Visa’s global network and underscores a critical shift in the fraud landscape: while core payment security continues to strengthen at the network level, criminals are redirecting their efforts away from technical system compromises toward exploiting human trust.

From July to December 2025, Visa identified nearly $1 billion in scam-related activity, making scams the single largest category of consumer payment fraud. Unlike traditional fraud, these attacks typically do not require breaching technology. Instead, scammers impersonate trusted brands and institutions, manufacture urgency, and deceive victims into completing legitimate-looking transactions.

“Payments at a network level continue to get safer, but threats are evolving faster than ever,” said Paul Fabara, Chief Risk and Client Services Officer at Visa. “Criminals are increasingly targeting people rather than technology, using deception, urgency and AI-enabled tools to exploit trust. Addressing this shift requires continuous innovation at the network level and close collaboration across banks, merchants, policymakers and the broader payments ecosystem.”

Four trends shaping the global payment threat landscape

The latest edition of the Biannual Threats Report identifies four major trends reshaping payment security worldwide:

Security is working, but fraud is migrating: Fraud involving device tokens declined 9.6% from July 2025 – December 2025 over the same period in 2024, reinforcing that stronger authentication and network-level protections are effective, even as overall attack volumes continue to rise.
Scams are accelerating: Scams are now the dominant consumer threat as criminals prioritize social engineering over direct system breaches.
AI is transforming fraud on both sides: Fraudsters are using AI to scale more convincing scams, while defenders are increasingly deploying AI to detect and stop attacks earlier in the transaction lifecycle.
Ransomware economics are shifting: Global ransomware activity increased 26% from July 2025 – December 2025 over the same period in 2024, yet only 23% of victims paid ransoms – the lowest rate on record – reflecting improving resilience and recovery capabilities, as well as a reluctance to pay when data could still be leaked, regardless of payment.

“The rapid adoption of AI has fundamentally lowered the barrier to entry for fraud,” said Michael Jabbara, SVP, Payment Ecosystem Risk and Control at Visa. “What once required deep technical skill can now be executed with a prompt. That reality makes intelligence-driven defenses and coordinated action across the ecosystem more critical than ever. With this report, our goal is to help leaders act sooner – before fraud reaches consumers.”

Wed, 20 May 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Collaboration launches fan-powered City Guides, connecting fans to the local places where soccer culture lives and supporting small businesses during a major moment for the global game.

NEW YORK & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- With millions of travelers set to explore new cities across North America this summer, Men in Blazers Media Network (MiBMN) and Visa today announced a new collaboration designed to celebrate the cities, cultures, and small businesses that give the global game its local heartbeat.

Men in Blazers City Guides, presented by Visa

As part of this effort, Visa and MiBMN are launching Men in Blazers City Guides, presented by Visa, a fan-powered travel companion for this summer and beyond, fueled by soccer-fan-curated recommendations and video reviews. City Guides were built to offer the authentic, local soccer fan’s perspective in helping global traveling supporters discover where to eat, drink, watch, and explore around the 13 cities across the U.S. and Canada, while driving visibility and commerce to local businesses during one of the world’s most anticipated sporting moments.

The City Guides bring together Visa’s commitment to small businesses and MiBMN’s deep connection to soccer fans, using fan insight and storytelling to turn match-day travel into meaningful, locally rooted experiences.

“The game of soccer lives far beyond the stadium,” said Roger Bennett, Founder and CEO of Men in Blazers Media Network. “When the whole world arrives on our shores this summer, we want travelers to truly feel and absorb the distinct and beautiful wonder of each city. To do that, we wanted to take on the burden of sourcing the local favorites, so they can focus more on the joys of the experience and less on the planning of it. Working together with Visa allows us to elevate those local institutions and help supporters experience these cities through the lens of the people who know them best.”

The inaugural City Guides are designed to help travelers navigate each destination with intention. Powered by more than 25,000 fan recommendations collected through a nationwide survey, the guides spotlight 25+ destinations per city across four categories.

This collaboration builds on Visa & Main, Visa’s program dedicated to supporting small businesses at the intersection of commerce and community. Through Visa & Main, Visa works to connect small businesses with customers, tools, and opportunities—making the City Guides a natural extension of that commitment during a global moment when local discovery matters.

“This initiative is about capitalizing on the moment and directing fans toward the small businesses and local institutions that shape the character of each city,” said Kyndra Russell, Chief Marketing Officer, North America at Visa. “By working with Men in Blazers and its incredibly passionate fan community—and building on our broader commitment through Visa & Main—we’re connecting global fandom with local commerce in ways that meaningfully support small businesses this summer and beyond.”

The City Guides serve as the flagship expression of Traveling Support, a new travel-focused storytelling platform designed to help fans experience soccer culture wherever the game is played. Additionally, MiBMN will release a series of short-form videos filmed at fan-recommended locations, featuring Roger Bennett and network talent alongside local creators. The content will appear across Men in Blazers’ social channels and extended digital platforms, highlighting the people and places where soccer culture thrives.

Fans can explore the City Guides, presented by Visa by visiting https://www.meninblazers.com/city-guides and start planning their journeys today.

Visa and Jason Sudeikis Turn the Simplest Goal in Football Into the Biggest Fan Moments at the FIFA World Cup 2026™

Mon, 18 May 2026 07:00:00 -0400

With “Tap In,” Visa brings fans closer to the FIFA World Cup 2026™—one effortless tap at a time.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- At the FIFA World Cup 2026™, everything can change in a split second. A quick pass. A simple finish. A tap in goal. This summer, Visa (NYSE: V), the Worldwide Payment Technology Partner of the FIFA World Cup 2026™, is turning those fleeting moments into something much bigger—launching Tap In, a bold new global campaign based on the belief that everything is a tap in with Visa.

Built around one of football’s most recognizable finishes, Tap In takes the simplest touch in the game and turns it into a powerful metaphor for how Visa works: fast, seamless, and effortless in the moments that matter most. At the FIFA World Cup™, that idea moves beyond storytelling, unlocking opportunity in communities and connecting fans directly to the action as it unfolds live.

When Players Tap In, Fans Do Too

At the heart of the campaign, Visa brings the passion of football to life across all three host countries—delivering exclusive promotions, unforgettable moments, and once-in-a-lifetime prizes to cardholders. When the ball hits the back of the net, the moment doesn’t stop at the stadium—it travels instantly to fans’ screens.

Visa cardholders across the United States and Canada can register to enter Tap In to Score¹, a Visa exclusive promotion that can make every match and every tap in goal mean something more. Fans can stay connected throughout the tournament for a chance to win daily, knowing the next tap in goal on the pitch could unlock even more prizes. From FIFA World Cup™ match tickets and a potential trip to the Final, to signed memorabilia and limited-edition merchandise, Tap In to Score turns match moments into shared celebration and opportunity.

With a simple, repeatable cadence that mirrors the flow of the tournament, Tap In to Score is designed to keep fans engaged beyond kickoff—making participation easy, intuitive, and woven into the rhythm of every matchday.

In Mexico, eligible Visa cardholders can register to enter Pásala Para Ganar²—a promotion offering fans the chance to win tickets to a FIFA World Cup 2026™ match just by registering their eligible cards. Winners will be randomly selected and notified in early June.

Jason Sudeikis Leads a Global Roster Built for the Moment

To bring Tap In to life, Visa has assembled a lineup that blends humor, cultural credibility, and football greatness. The campaign launches with a high impact hero film that captures the unpredictability, energy, and joy of the FIFA World Cup™—showing how a single tap can ripple far beyond the pitch.

Award winning actor Jason Sudeikis anchors the campaign, journeying through the U.S., Mexico and Canada, using his Visa card to make every step of his FIFA World Cup 2026™ experience easier—illustrating how Visa removes friction and unlocks fandom in real life.

He is joined in the Tap In campaign by some of the most exciting and iconic figures in the tournament today, including Lamine Yamal, Erling Haaland, Christian Pulisic, Jorge Campos, and legendary announcer, Andrés Cantor.

Together, they celebrate a simple truth fans instantly recognize: the smallest touches can create the biggest moments.

“Football has this way of making even the smallest moment feel shared,” said Jason Sudeikis. “Tap In helps fans stay connected to that feeling—whether they’re on the pitch, in the stands, or at home.”

From Screens to Streets: Making the FIFA World Cup™ a Connected Experience

Tap In rolls out across broadcast, digital, social, creator partnerships, and live fan moments—meeting fans where football culture lives today. Tap In notifications, creator-led explainers, and immersive environments bring Tap In to life as an always-on FIFA World Cup™ experience.

Visa’s Tap In Studio activation at select stadiums and major host cities invites fans to step inside the campaign, blending football, art—from Visa’s first-ever global art collection—and culture, while unlocking an experience only Visa can deliver.

Tap In to Impact

Visa’s Tap In campaign is also taking the energy of the FIFA World Cup™ and turning it into economic impact that directly supports small businesses, creators and communities across host countries.

Through Tap In to Impact, Visa is committing $600,000 to three nonprofit partners across each host country: SCORE in the United States, Pro Mujer in Mexico, and Futurpreneur in Canada. These investments support the local business owners, mentors, and community-builders transforming a global tournament into lasting local impact, ensuring the excitement of the FIFA World Cup™ leaves a lasting legacy where it’s played.

Everything Is a Tap In With Visa

“Fans don’t just watch the FIFA World Cup™—they live it,” said Frank Cooper III, Chief Marketing Officer at Visa. “Tap In keeps them closer to every moment, turning the easiest goal in football into an invitation for fans everywhere to participate. One tap, and you’re in.”

Your Card, Your Security. Tap: A Safer Way to Verify Identity — Visa, Keyno, and Fidelity Bank (Bahamas) Lead the Transformation

Mon, 11 May 2026 10:48:00 -0400

Visa and Keyno reimagine identity verification for the digital era, launching the next generation of Tap use cases — Tap to Confirm and Tap to Activate — first with Fidelity Bank (Bahamas) Limited

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Visa (NYSE: V) today announced a major step forward in how consumers verify their identity in the digital era, with the first-ever deployment of its Tap to Confirm and Tap to Activate technology for issuing banks. Launched in collaboration with fintech partner Keyno and Fidelity Bank (Bahamas) Limited, this innovation represents a paradigm shift in how consumers prove who they are to their financial institutions — turning the physical Visa card into a trusted identity credential that works with a simple tap inside the banking app they already use.

As commerce becomes increasingly digital, identity verification has emerged as one of the defining challenges of modern banking and payments. Instead of relying on one-time passcodes, call center verification, or other complex authentication processes, cardholders can now confirm their identity or activate a new card simply by tapping their Visa card to their mobile device — providing EMV-level security while delivering a frictionless user experience.

Visa Powers the Next Era of Identity Verification

The breakthrough technology showcases Visa's innovation leadership by leveraging advanced EMV cryptography and Visa's proprietary Chip Authenticate service. The solution integrates Visa's robust Transaction Exchange (VTEX) API for real-time card data authentication directly through VisaNet — the world's most advanced payment processing network, handling over 150 billion transactions annually.

"Identity verification has become one of the defining challenges of digital commerce — and one of the biggest points of friction for consumers and issuers alike. With tap authentication, Visa is transforming the card in your wallet into a secure, intuitive identity credential, delivering an experience that is easier for consumers and more secure for issuers. This is what Visa's payments expertise and global infrastructure make possible,” said, Mike Romero, Head of Digital Solutions, Visa Latin America and the Caribbean.

Enabling Issuers and Transforming Consumer Experience

Partnering with Keyno - whose technology provides secure digital card solutions - and launching first with Fidelity, Visa enhances issuers’ ability to:

Accelerate digital onboarding and activation with instant card activation
Reduce bank call center costs by turning users to in-app experiences
Reduce fraud significantly with best-in-class EMV cryptogram validation that surpasses SMS-based authentication
Offer customers faster, tap-based authentication for high-risk activity, like changes to passwords, mailing addresses. high value money transfers, or account limits
Eliminate friction while strengthening security - no more wait times for call centers or delayed SMS codes

“Identity is the key to safe commerce. Now, your Visa card is the key to secure online identity verification. Keyno and Visa are leading the way—making digital banking safer, simpler, and more trusted with just a tap,” said, Robert J Steinman, CEO Keyno.

Following the successful Fidelity pilot, Visa is positioning Tap to Confirm as a premium security and authentication solution with global expansion planned throughout the year.

FAQ

Q: What is Tap to Confirm?

Tap to Confirm lets cardholders verify possession of their card for actions like high-value transfers or account changes by simply tapping their Visa card on their own mobile device using the issuer's banking app, replacing OTP with secure EMV authentication.

Q: What is Tap to Activate?

Tap to Activate allows cardholders to activate a new Visa card instantly and securely by tapping the card on their mobile phone within the issuer's app, eliminating the need to call support or enter activation codes.

Q: Who are the partners in this pilot?

Visa has partnered with Keyno (keyno.io), a provider of secure digital card solutions, and Fidelity (www.fidelitygroup.com) for the first commercial rollout of these breakthrough tap features.

Q: How does this improve security?

The solutions use EMV chip cryptogram technology and Visa's Chip Authenticate service for each tap, creating highly secure, fraud-resistant authentication that significantly exceeds the security of other authentication methods.

Q: What are the benefits for cardholders?

Faster, frictionless onboarding and card activation
Elimination of passwords, SMS delays, and phone calls
EMV-grade security for all authentication actions
Intuitive tap gesture requiring no learning curve

Q: When will these features be available?

The initial rollout with Fidelity is now live, with plans for expansion throughout 2026.

Q: Do I need a special app?

For this pilot, these features will be available within Fidelity's FIDSECURE mobile app powered by Keyno's technology and Visa's Tap to Confirm authentication infrastructure.

Q: What makes this different from other authentication methods?

Unlike OTP or app-based authentication, Visa's Tap technology uses the physical card's EMV chip as the authentication factor, providing stronger security while simplifying the user experience.

Visa Announces Global Expansion of Agentic Ready Program

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Visa’s Agentic Ready program is now available in Asia Pacific and Latin America
Designed to support the payments ecosystem as it prepares for a new era of agentic commerce

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) today announced the expansion of its global Agentic Ready program to clients in Asia Pacific and Latin America. First launched with banks and issuing partners across Europe, including the UK, Agentic Ready is designed to support the payments ecosystem as it prepares for the emergence of agent-led commerce.

As the next generation of commerce takes shape, AI agents are moving beyond answering questions to taking action—searching, deciding, and ultimately paying on behalf of consumers and businesses. This shift has meaningful implications for the global payments ecosystem, from how transactions are authorized to how trust, security, and control are maintained at scale.

What Visa Agentic Ready Provides

Visa Agentic Ready is a global program designed to help issuing banks and payment partners prepare for AI agent‑initiated commerce. The program enables participants to:

Test agent‑initiated payments in controlled, real‑world environments using live cards and real merchants
Validate core payment flows, including card enrollment, tokenization, authentication, and transaction authorization
Assess trust, security, and control mechanisms as AI agents take action on behalf of consumers and businesses
Identify operational and readiness gaps before agent‑led transactions scale broadly
Collaborate with Visa and selected merchants to understand how agent‑initiated transactions behave in practice
Prepare for global deployment as agent‑driven commerce expands across markets.

Agentic Ready builds on Visa Intelligent Commerce, Visa’s portfolio of initiatives enabling secure, AI‑driven commerce experiences at scale. In the United States, Visa has already rolled out Visa Intelligent Commerce across a broad set of agents and partners, with live transactions taking place today.

“Across markets, we’re seeing growing interest in how AI agents could reshape commerce,” said Rubail Birwadker, SVP, Growth Products & Partnerships, Visa. “Visa Agentic Ready provides banks and issuing partners with a structured path to testing agent-initiated payments, learning what works, and ensuring global readiness as these experiences reach scale.”

Already live with more than 20 partners in the United Kingdom and Europe, Agentic Ready will quickly roll out to 85+ partners across Asia Pacific and Latin America, and will continue to roll out to additional markets this year.

“Our partners are building in a multi-chain world, and they expect their options to reflect that reality,” said Rubail Birwadker, Global Head of Growth Products and Strategic Partnerships, Visa. “Expanding our stablecoin settlement pilot program to more blockchains means our partners can choose the networks that best fit their needs, while relying on Visa to provide a common settlement layer across all of them.”

Newly supported blockchains

Visa is adding support for five additional blockchains, further expanding its multi-chain settlement capabilities:

Arc: An open Layer-1 blockchain created by Circle, purpose-built to unite programmable money and onchain innovation with real-world economic activity.
Base: A high-performance blockchain enabling fast, low-cost settlement for stablecoins, onchain assets and agentic commerce. Powered by Coinbase.
Canton: Built with configurable privacy for regulated capital markets, enabling compliant settlement for institutional use cases.
Polygon: A leading blockchain payments solution that enables fast, low-cost transactions, delivering seamless, high-throughput infrastructure for global payments and digital commerce.
Tempo: Focused on faster, private, and more efficient movement of stablecoin liquidity and settlement flows.

With these additions, Visa now supports nine blockchains across its global stablecoin settlement pilot program, giving partners more choice while building on existing support for Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, and Stellar.

From experimentation to multi-chain reality

Over the past year, stablecoins have evolved from a promising innovation to a practical way to move money globally, and Visa’s settlement pilots are helping partners streamline operations.

This builds on years of live pilots and regional rollouts across LAC, Europe, AP and CEMEA, as well as the recent expansion of USDC settlement to U.S. banks and 130+ stablecoin-linked card programs in more than 50 countries. The move to nine supported blockchains mirrors a broader trend: liquidity and activity now span a diverse, multi-chain ecosystem, and settlement infrastructure is evolving to match to provide more choice.

Visa is building toward a future where interoperability is essential. Supporting multiple blockchains gives partners more choice in how they access liquidity across ecosystems and adapt as the landscape changes, while Visa eases some of the underlying complexity so institutions can use stablecoins through a trusted, global network.

Continued momentum

The growth to a $7B run rate underscores increasing confidence in blockchain infrastructure from financial institutions, fintechs, and payment providers. Stablecoin settlement over blockchain infrastructure is becoming a viable complement to traditional settlement rails.

As adoption continues, Visa remains focused on bridging traditional finance and blockchain-based systems - bringing the same standards of reliability, security, and scale to both.

Partner perspectives

“Arc is designed to provide the performance, predictability, and reliable access to liquidity needed to support real-time settlement at a global scale. Our work with Visa reflects growing demand for stablecoins like USDC and blockchain infrastructure that can settle today’s payment flows instantly while enabling the next era of programmable commerce and agent-driven economic activity.” Nikhil Chandhok, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Circle.

“Our goal with Base has always been to make onchain the new standard. Visa’s expansion is a pivotal step in making stablecoin payments a daily reality for billions of people, enabling a faster, cheaper, and more useful financial system for everyone,” said Jesse Pollak, Founder of Base.

“Canton was designed to meet demanding requirements of regulated institutions, and Visa’s stablecoin settlement platform provides a bridge that lets them explore onchain settlement while staying aligned with their compliance requirements,” said Eric Saraniecki, Head of Network Strategy at Digital Asset, co-founder of the Canton Network.

“Visa adding Polygon signals that stablecoins are moving into real world payments at scale. By combining Visa’s global reach with Polygon’s fast, low-cost infrastructure, we are making stablecoin settlement more practical, reliable, and accessible for partners around the world,” said Marc Boiron, CEO, Polygon Labs.

“Tempo is focused on real-time stablecoin settlement, and Visa’s participation as both a validator and settlement partner helps bring always-on, programmable payments closer to the mainstream,” said Ani Narayan, GTM, Tempo.
