The Visa Acquirer Monitoring Program (VAMP) ratio is calculated based on the following formula:
(Monthly number of transactions reported as fraud + number of non-fraud disputes)
--------------------------------------------
(Monthly number of settled transactions)
If an acquirer or merchant’s ratio breaches a threshold, Visa places them under the VAMP, and fines apply.
