In this episode of Fraudology Karisse Hendrick dives deep into the latest developments surrounding Visa's Acquirer Monitoring Program (VAMP). As a seasoned e-commerce fraud fighter, Karisse breaks down the complex calculations and hidden implications of VAMP that every merchant, payment processor, and fraud analyst needs to understand. She reveals shocking new information about how TC40 fraud reports are being used in ways that may unfairly penalize merchants for fraud outside their control.

Karisse explains how VAMP's risk threshold is calculated using both TC40 reports and chargebacks, potentially double-counting many fraud instances. She highlights how this incentivizes the use of costly fraud alerts while still leaving merchants vulnerable. Most alarmingly, Karisse shares insights from industry veteran Rick Clinch exposing how TC40 reports include fraud types like identity theft and account takeover that occur at the issuer level, yet still count against merchants in VAMP calculations. She questions the fairness of holding merchants accountable for fraud they have no visibility into or control over.


The episode provides a masterclass in the intricate details of payment fraud monitoring, arming listeners with crucial knowledge as VAMP goes into effect. Karisse's passion for merchant advocacy shines through as she calls for more equitable fraud monitoring practices. Whether you're a fraud analyst, risk manager, or e-commerce leader, this episode is essential listening to understand the changing fraud landscape. Tune in to gain insider knowledge that could save your business from unfair penalties and empower you to push for positive change in the industry.
