Visa utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in several key areas to enhance the security, efficiency, and user experience of its payment systems. Here are some of the ways Visa employs AI:

Fraud Detection and Prevention

• Visa’s Advanced Authorization (VAA) uses AI and ML to determine whether a transaction is legitimate or fraudulent within 300 milliseconds, preventing billions of dollars in fraud each year. For example, in 2021, VAA alone prevented $26 billion worth of fraud.
• Visa Account Intelligence employs AI to detect fraud before it starts, preventing significant amounts of potential client fraud, such as $2.2 billion in one case.
• Visa Risk Manager (VRM) and Visa Provisioning Intelligence (VPI) are AI-powered solutions that help prevent fraud in token provisioning and other payment methods.

Transaction Authorization and Processing

• VisaNet +AI includes services like Smarter Stand-In Processing (STIP) and Smarter Posting, which use real-time AI to manage transaction authorizations during service disruptions, ensuring smoother and more reliable payment processing.
