Visa Global Registry: What It Is
and Why It’s Important
The Global Registry is Visa’s official tool for identifying verified service providers that meet strict data security and compliance standards. Each listed company has a detailed profile showing its validation type, assessment date, assessor, region, and validity period.
The Registry has evolved gradually from Visa’s Account Information Security (AIS) and Service Provider Compliance Programs in the mid-2000s, around the same time PCI DSS became mandatory.
Validation for each provider is carried out by a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), an independent expert reviewing how the company processes, stores, and transmits cardholder data. Some of the areas covered include:
- 01
Proper Network Segmentation and Firewall Setup
- 02
Encryption of Data and Secure Storage Practices
- 03
Robust Access Controls and Identity Management
- 04
Ongoing Monitoring, Testing, and Logging of Systems
- 05

Importance
for PSPs
and Acquirers
For PSPs, every partnership shapes their reputation and the security of the transactions they process. They sit between merchants and acquirers, so every decision about partners affects both sides. When a PCI DSS-validated PSP listed in the Visa Global Registry is involved, businesses avoid penalties and chargebacks that may result from a security lapse.
Acquirers rely on the Registry to confirm that their partners meet Visa’s standards. The Registry shows which providers are validated, so acquirers can choose approved partners and stay compliant under the Visa VAMP monitoring program.
Risk and Compliance
Implications
A provider that is not listed or marked as non-compliant creates direct exposure for PSPs and acquirers. Such cases may result in contractual issues, data risks, or extra compliance verification steps required by Visa. Key risks include:
- Contractual liabilities between PSPs and acquirers
- Breach of acquirer compliance obligations under Visa’s rules
- Possible suspension of processing compliance status
- Operational delays caused by security reviews
- Loss of trust between merchants and their payment provider

How Visa Status Impacts Clients
When a company appears in the Visa Global Registry as a PCI DSS Compliant Provider, it sends a clear message of trust and reliability.
Merchants and acquirers can move forward knowing the provider meets global security standards. It also lightens the compliance burden, as due diligence becomes more straightforward.
For clients, this recognition means fewer risks and smoother partnerships built on proven reliability.
