Visa Chargeback Formula and VAMP Data
When you select the Visa Formula, the main graph in each tab automatically breaks down your Fraud Notification (TC40) vs. Chargeback (TC15) contributions to your chargeback volume. The table beneath calculates your chargeback rate, chargeback count, and transaction count for each MID; this directly mirrors Visa’s VAMP calculation methods and helps you identify exactly what’s driving your VAMP rate across MIDs and processors. Click a MID in the table to remove it from the chart.Only Adyen, Stripe, and Chase provide TC40 data at this time. If we’re missing data needed to calculate your true VAMP rate—such as TC40 if you transact through any other processor—you’ll see a notice in the dashboard. This indicates your VAMP metrics might be underreported.
VAMP Overview
Visa’s Acquirer Monitoring Program (VAMP) helps Visa monitor card-not-present fraud and chargeback risk across the ecosystem. Visa calculates a VAMP rate for each of your MIDs monthly, flagging accounts that exceed specific thresholds based on region and volume. If a MID’s VAMP rate is too high, you may face additional monitoring, potential penalties, or enforcement actions. The VAMP rate is calculated as the sum of all fraud and non-fraud chargebacks (identified in your TC15 report) and early fraud warnings (TC40 report), divided by your total settled card-not-present transaction count.Your VAMP rate may be different from your traditional chargeback rate, as Visa includes TC40 fraud alert data in their calculation. This provides a broader view of potential fraud exposure beyond what is captured in chargebacks alone.
Region | Disputes | Excessive Rate |
---|---|---|
US, Canada, EU, and Asia Pacific | 1,500+ | 220 BPS |
LAC | 1,500+ | 150 BPS |
CEMEA | 150+ and $75,000+ | 220 BPS |
