Visa ALERT: Protecting Your Business During the Holiday Season & Webinar on Black POS Malware, December 10

By SBE Council at 5 December, 2014, 10:48 am

During this holiday shopping season certain customer behavior could point to card fraud, but it doesn’t necessarily indicate criminal activity. You know your customers, so let your instincts steer you in the right direction.

Visa is committed to helping merchants better understand how they can best protect their businesses and customers. As part of this commitment, Visa regularly posts data security alerts on www.visa.com/cisp. These alerts focus on acceptance best practices for card-present and card-not-present merchants. You can keep your business or organization informed by accessing alerts, bulletins, and webinars by subscribing to RSS feeds at www.visa.com/cisp.

The Visa material is targeted to acquirers, processors, and merchants. It provides guidance for merchants to reduce fraud risk exposure in both card-present and card-not-present environments.
