Visibility into credential-on-file updates provided to participating merchants

With the growth of online commerce and bill pay, cardholders are increasingly adding their payment information to new online accounts.


This has made it difficult for cardholders to keep track of which merchants have their card on file. When the card holder receives a new card, it is challenging to update the information with every merchant. This may cause the cardholder to miss a recurring payment or experience a decline. With Visa Account Updater Service, your cardholders can be provided with access to view the merchants that obtained updated card information through Visa Account Updater.
