The following table lists the enforcement fines in place under the Visa Acquirer Monitoring Program (VAMP):
| Effective date | Acquirer breaches above standard ratio | Merchant breaches excessive ratio | Acquirer breaches excessive ratio and merchant ratio is >=0.5% | Merchant breaches excessive enumeration ratio |
| April 1, 2025 | Not applicable | 8 USD per dispute or transaction reported as fraud | 8 USD per dispute or transaction reported as fraud | 8 USD per dispute or transaction reported as fraud |
| January 1, 2026 | 4 USD per dispute or transaction reported as fraud | 8 USD per dispute or transaction reported as fraud | 8 USD per dispute or transaction reported as fraud | 8 USD per dispute or transaction reported as fraud |
In the AP and Europe regions, VAMP fees do not apply where a chargeback also incurs an unsecured dispute fee. Visa applies unsecured dispute fees to fraud chargebacks where the merchant did not authenticate the disputed transaction.
Note: Visa made a significant update to how they calculate the program ratios, with corresponding increases to the thresholds at which these ratios result in scheme fees.
