Optimize Fraud Loss Prevention and Maximize Profitability

Visa Risk Manager is a web portal that provides a comprehensive suite of fraud and risk management tools that can be accessed through Visa Online 24/7. It is specifically designed to help issuers optimize fraud loss prevention and maximize profitability by providing clients with an effective transaction risk management decisioning system. From defining the parameters used to flag a transaction for review, to establishing rules to decline a transaction based on the potential for fraud, Visa Risk Manager enables intelligent decisioning throughout the entire transaction lifecycle.

Please note that you have to be a Visa Risk Manager (VRM) subscriber to access the VRM APIs. For more information about VRM, please contact your account representative.
