Visa and global fintech provider FIS are joining forces to roll out a powerful set of value-added payment services for regional banks and issuers across the UK and beyond. Expected by the end of 2025, the initiative will include:
-
🔒 Transaction Intercept
-
📲 Direct Wallet Provisioning
-
🛡️ E-commerce Fraud Liability Protection
As infrastructure modernization and programmable finance converge, this partnership signals a clear direction: intelligent payment orchestration and granular user control are now critical for financial institutions of all sizes.
3 New Features Driving the Future of Issuer Services
🔒 Transaction Intercept: Cardholders can now call their bank to instantly block recurring auto-billing charges. This feature offers consumers more control over their subscriptions and recurring spend—addressing one of the top pain points in digital banking.
📲 Direct Wallet Push: Issuers will be able to push branded virtual cards directly into users’ digital wallets (e.g., Apple Pay, Google Pay), enabling "activate-and-use" experiences with zero manual entry.
This aligns with Buvei’s own approach to programmable virtual cards: real-time issuance, seamless wallet integration, and merchant-level control.
🛡️ E-commerce Chargeback Shield: By integrating Visa’s advanced fraud mitigation AI, issuers can improve authorization rates while outsourcing fraud liability to Visa for specific e-commerce transactions—particularly useful in high-risk categories like cross-border commerce and Web3.
Visa x FIS: Enabling Smart Payment Infrastructure for All
Chris Como, Head of Card & Money Movement at FIS, said: "By embedding Visa’s advanced services into the FIS ecosystem, we’re closing the tech gap between regional issuers and major players."
Kathleen Pierce-Gilmore, Visa’s Global Head of Issuer Solutions, added: "We’re redefining how financial institutions connect with their customers—across wallet issuance, transaction control, and digital engagement."
