Thank you.

Hi @Milioner,                             

Visa assigns the BID to its clients. The BID is a number through which Visa bills their clients. To receive a BID, you will have to become a Visa client. To create a project, please follow the instructions in the Getting Started with Visa Developer guide using this link. https://developer.visa.com/vdpguide#get-started-overview

Could you please approve that we correct understand.
We need to create a project, sent it to review and after the project will be reviewed and approved then VISA will assign the BID to us.
Correct?

Hi @Milioner. Yes, your understanding is correct. To receive a Visa BID, you will need to create a project, submit the project for review and once the project is approved then VISA will assign the BID to you.

All  - we've explained this in more detail in the How to Submit a Going Live Request Tutorial.

You should not have to give us a BID if you do not have an existing business relationship with Visa.
