ChargebackHelp acquired by Global Payments. VAMP monitors TC40's too.

This title was summarized by AI from the post below.

VAMP = Winter is coming! I need to correct a previous post. ChargebackHelp was acquired by Global Payments but there are no immediate policy changes. They will continue supporting higher risk merchant verticals. Apologies to the good folks ChargebackHelp! I do have long term concerns about all the vendors. They have powerful tools to counter chargebacks via Ethoca, Verifi, RDR, etc. Those tools easily cut chargebacks by 50%+. Eliminating chargebacks is only half the equation. What about the new TC40’s? VAMP monitors chargebacks AND TC40’s. Without TC40 countermeasures, the majority of ecommerce merchants are at risk of being terminated. Low, medium and high risk categories.

100% agreement that the scope and scale of VAMP is wider and bigger than people are grasping. VISA has been pretty clear from the beginning with VAMP - merchants, acquirers, and issuers are all responsible for stopping fraud at the door. VISA has basically asserted that going “oops!” and giving a refund after allowing fraud through is not an acceptable remedy. Directly, if I were Acertify, Riskify, or Signifyd, I’d be scrambling - the business model of accepting transactions a fraud filter has identified as likely fraud, even with indemnification, is definitely one I’d put money on being in danger with these changes. But also, the idea that the ratio has gone “up” is silly - let’s talk about that acquirer ratio that’s sitting at 1/3rd the VISA merchant ratio (2.2 vs .7 and 1.5 vs .5) - sounds a lot like a recipe for your Acquirer to be the new enforcer.
