Card Security
Visa® Liability
The Visa Liability Waiver Program is one of the most valuable core benefits of Visa Commercial and Business cards. It protects clients against losses that are incurred through card use by a terminated employee, and misuse of a/the card by current or terminated employees.
The program covers all transactions including Internet, mail-order/telephone order (MO/TO), and face-to-face transactions whether the eligible employee transactions are on an individual's card, a ghost account or a departmental card.
Merchant Category Code (MCC) Restrictions
Program Administrators can choose to block specific Merchant Category Codes to help control what and where cardholders purchase. These controls can be customized for each individual cardholder if necessary and can be maintained through a simple email request to customer service.
