Chargeback Gurus (CBG) has introduced its VAMP Risk Calculator, a new tool designed to assist merchants in understanding the potential financial impact of the Visa Acquirer Monitoring Program (VAMP) ahead of its enforcement beginning October 1, 2025.
“The VAMP Risk Calculator utilizes analytics and trend analysis to provide merchants with insights into potential costs and benefits associated with proactively managing their thresholds under the upcoming Visa program,” stated Tim Tynan, CEO of Chargeback Gurus. He further noted that the Visa Acquirer Monitoring Program signifies a significant shift in the performance, cost, and risk factors merchants need to comprehend.
CBG has been preparing for VAMP since April, offering a platform that tracks and monitors VAMP ratios by merchant ID within a unified dashboard. This platform delivers early warning notifications, enabling merchants to address potential issues before they escalate.
Damo Sampathkumar, Chief Product Officer at Chargeback Gurus, commented, “The new VAMP Risk Calculator complements the existing Chargeback ROI Calculator available on our website, offering merchants a more comprehensive perspective on how disputes and compliance programs influence their financial outcomes.” He added that these tools underscore CBG’s dedication to providing merchants with practical resources that simplify complex challenges and yield measurable results.
The VAMP Risk Calculator provides merchants with an estimate of their risk under the new program, empowering them to take informed action. The tool is now accessible on the CBG website at https://www.chargebackgurus.com/vamp-calculator. Chargeback Gurus specializes in helping merchants protect and recover revenue through innovative chargeback management solutions, leveraging AI insights, data science, and advanced analytics.
