Ways we're supporting businesses
Here are some tools, resources and initiatives to help you grow your business.
Visa compliance and acceptance guidelines
Becoming a Visa-accepting merchant is a straightforward process and we will help you succeed. However, there are a few requirements that you will need to know:
All merchants accepting Visa have a responsibility to adhere to the law. As it relates to accepting Visa products, merchants must accept Visa products for legal transactions only.
Merchants that sell age-restricted products, such as alcohol and tobacco, must have in place processes and controls to ensure that all associated laws are honoured.
Merchants should be aware that possession of a Visa card or submission of Visa account information does not signify that the cardholder is of legal age to purchase age-restricted products.
The issuance of Visa cards is not restricted to individuals over 18 years of age
