Enhance consumer trust, streamline data privacy operations and adapt to the evolving regulatory requirements.

The Visa Consent Management Service (VCMS) is a solution that solicits granular, explicit consent from consumers. This enables Visa and our clients to collect user data in consistent, transparent, and intuitive manner. It also helps to address changing regulatory requirements and satisfies best practices using a set of technical APIs. The solution allows clients to manage the lifecycle of a consent (active, paused, revoked, expired) and provides ways to audit the changes made to the consent through this lifecycle.
