VISA APPROVED VENDOR PROGRAM
The Visa Approved Vendor Programme (AVP) is designed to ensure card manufacturers, magnetic-stripe card personalisers, IC personalisors, IC pre-personalisers, over-the-air personalisers and cloud-based payment providers meet the necessary security requirements based on the services offered and business classification type.
