Hello everyone , 

We are trying to implement visa services on NFC cards.

Will certainly appreciate prompt response.

Hi @krunal1234,

Please check out this Community Forum post related to NFC payments.

I also recommend checking out the Visa Token Service API product. 

Visa Token Services might be a good fit for a requirement of taking contactless card payments via a mobile device. We have Card-On-File" (COF) functionality available on the Portal and these are the APIs that enable provisioning and use of tokens for HCE-based contactless (NFC) payments and for in-app purchases using tokens provisioned to a mobile device. Please see the Visa Token Service documentation provided below.

Thanks,

Thanks for your prompt response, I am currently referring the API documentation.

However , I would like to have a clear understanding about PAN number generation and its process.
I am very eager to know how and when PAN is introduced for making NFC cards => Visa powered NFC cards.

Awaiting your prompt response.

Thank you.

Hi @krunal1234, 

PAN is provided by the Issuer; Visa does not generate PANs.

For NFC to be visa powered , is PAN required ?

if yes

then please guide us and share the steps and documentation to-refer-to for PAN number generation

In our case , our client is the issuer and potentially the banks that will be affiliated with the client.

So , to address this please walk-us through the required process.

The only aspect stopping us from progressing with the development is PAN related information, so
prompt response would certainly be appreciated.
Thank you for being kind enough to respond.

Hi @krunal1234, 

PAN is generated by Issuer Banks; for security reasons, Visa does not share this information publicly.

Thanks,

Yes I understand that ,

Would certainly get back to you once we have a comprehensive understanding on nitty-gritty of it.

Appreciate your prompt response.

Thanks.
