Incoming Visa Regulations to Impact Dating Industry Companies
Stricter rules would be applied to all companies accepting Visa cards from the 1st of October, 2019. These rules designed to fight fraud operations.
The rules state that everyone who’s accepting Visa payments will find all monthly compliance thresholds reduced from 1% to 0.9%. The rules’ impact will be especially noticeable to companies in high – risk industries. The new fraud and chargeback monitoring policy poses challenges, especially for companies operating in industries such as dating, travel, online video games, betting and gambling, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and adult products, as well as companies offering digital goods.
