Token ce

The platform that unifies mobile and digital commerce

As the foundational platform for global tokenization, Visa tokens substitute Visa card numbers with tokens enabling richer and more secure digital payment experiences for millions of customers every day. Visa is leading the token transformation by contributing and implementing industry standards worldwide through VTS.

Visa Token Service (VTS) brings trust to digital commerce innovation. As consumers come to rely on digital payments, VTS provides tokens that are designed to enable the payment ecosystem to increase authorization, reduce fraud and lead from the front.

Increased authorization

How it works

1. Consumer initiates a purchase at a merchant, in-store or online.
2. Merchant submits the network token received from the consumer’s device to their acquirer.
3. Acquirer passes the network token to Visa.
4. Visa passes the PAN and the network token to the issuer for authorization.
5. Issuer or their processor authorizes or declines the transaction and returns the result to the Visa.
6. Visa exchanges the PAN back to the network token in the token vault and sends a response and the network token to the acquirer and on to the merchant.
