Hey @aadeln,

Can you please let us know what the abbreviations VMAS and VMTS stand for? Also, what is it that you are trying to do? What is your use case?

Hi Diana,

Thank you for the prompt reply.

VMAS - Visa Merchant Alert System

VMTS - Visa Merchant Trace System. 

Both are used to track merchant activity and notify in case anything changes from a financial risk point.

Hey aadeln,

Currently, I don't see VMAS or VMTS listed as an available API product on the Visa Developer Platform. Please continue to check back on the Visa Developer website for updates in the future.

For a list of our Visa Developer APIs that are available for use please navigate to our API Browser here - https://developer.visa.com/apibrowser 

Once you find an API that would be a good fit for your project then you can follow the “Working with Visa APIs” guides that walk you through how to register and create a Visa Developer application. Here's the link -
https://developer.visa.com/pages/working-with-visa-apis 

This guide provides you with the key steps for application creation, credentials, and connection validation.

After testing your app in sandbox, you can submit a Going Live production request for evaluation.

Using visa direct for p2p payments in Africa

Hi, came across the notice for visa direct and it says 

"All Visa Direct programs require the originator to be a licensed Visa acquirer or be sponsored by a licensed Visa acquirer who is ready and able to sponsor Visa Direct programs."

How can we become a licensed visa acquirer or where can we find a licensed visa acquirer so as to go live with visa direct?

thanks
