Over two days at UCSF Mission Bay Conference Center in San Francisco, FinDEVr will provide developers, architects, engineers, and other builders with a unique opportunity to meet and network with some of the biggest names in fintech software development.

Our FinDEVr Preview has already introduced you to some of these companies, innovators like Yodlee Interactive and TD Ameritrade Institutional. Today, we introduce you to one more: Visa and its Developers program.

Like many companies known primarily for their vast experience as a financial services provider, Visa is also a major innovator when it comes to technological innovations for financial institutions and their customers.

Remember, early bird pricing for FinDEVr ends next week. Lock in your savings and get your tickets today.

The Visa Developers program provides a broad array of tools, services, and resources from both Visa and its subsidiary brands to help developers create seamless, multi-channel payment solutions.

Keynote: The Future of Commerce

Learn how Visa is supporting the creation of new, innovative commerce solutions by enabling developers, mobile network operators, device and platform operators to easily connect to Visa’s network through new open payment APIs and SDKs.

Workshops

1) Visa Checkout API-less Web Integration

Implement your own instance of Visa Checkout on a website and get started with the Sandbox, adding requirement elements to a cart page, receiving/decrypting a payload, and updating with a pixel. Learn how simple it is to implement Visa Checkout on a website without making a single API call.

2) Visa Checkout Android SDK Integration

In this session we’ll show you how to add Visa Checkout support to your app using our Android SDK. Learn how easy it is to configure your app for Visa Checkout, as well as get a payload and perform an update via our API.

3) Visa Checkout Provisioning Integration for Financial Institutions

Learn how to implement the Visa Checkout Provisioning interface on your site to streamline the provisioning of Visa Checkout accounts for your customers. We’re discussing light and heavy integration options. See how simple it is to help your customers create Visa Checkout accounts on your site.

The Success of Visa Checkout’s Rebrand

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on August 19, 2014
Categories: VISA

Visa’s Visa Checkout, the rebranded version of V.me, has experienced increased success since its recent change of face.

Similar to PayPal, Visa Checkout stores users’ credentials and enables them to pay at a merchant’s site with only their username and password. The service launched this July with PNC and other banking partners.

According to American Banker, PNC reported that customer enrollments of Visa Checkout doubled after it changed the brand from V.me (PNC declined to disclose actual enrollment

figures). Some speculate that the success is partially due to the name change. Not only is Visa Checkout more descriptive, it also appeals to a wider audience and sounds more secure.

The potential for Visa Checkout to place a bank’s card at the top of the digital wallet is enticing. When a user signs up for the Visa Checkout, they are prompted to enter their credit card information into the wallet. While the service works with any payment card, banks are hoping their card will be the most frequently used.

To see Visa’s newest offering for developers, check out its upcoming presentation at FinDEVr San Francisco held September 30 through October 1.

Visa shared on its blog yesterday that California-based Intuit recently launched a prepaid Visa card called GoPayment:

“Those who use Intuit’s GoPayment mobile acceptance app and reader can now link their GoPayment account to a Visa prepaid card, conveniently separating the funds collected through GoPayment from other finances.”

Users can make purchases with the card online and in-store, and they can use it to withdraw cash at an ATM.

Visa’s V.me Mobile Wallet To Compete With PayPal

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on November 17, 2011
Categories: VISA

Yesterday, Visa unveiled its V.me mobile wallet that will compete with PayPal in “card number-shielded” online/mobile payments.

Key features:

Use on PC, tablet, or mobile device
Use multiple cards
Need only username and password to checkout online

V.me hopes to differentiate itself from PayPal by also supporting payments at the physical point-of-sale. However, PayPal is working on that as well.

The service is currently invite-only in the U.S. and Canada, but Visa hopes to make it publicly available in early 2012.

To learn more about Visa, watch its FinovateSpring 2010 demo.

Flash Marketing Addendum: Co-branded Payments

By Jim Bruene Posted on July 28, 2010
Categories: Advertising & Promotion, Email Samples, Marketing, VISA

In my post yesterday about flash marketing via Groupon and LivingSocial, I neglected to mention another interesting opportunity: working directly with the marketing companies to add your brand to the service.

Because payments and credit are crucial to ecommerce success, financial brands are a logical addition to the checkout process. And Visa just so happens to be featured today at LivingSocial (see inset and screenshots below).

Anyone who buys today’s Seattle deal, a $25 restaurant certificate for $10, automatically gets a second certificate to use as a gift, if they pay by Visa Signature card (see notes 1, 2). It’s hard to say what Visa is paying for the promotion, but given the massive website traffic and transaction activity, it’s likely a pricey sponsorship (note 3).

Email from LivingSocial with Visa branded add-on offer (28 July 2010)

Landing page (link)

Notes:
1. Some interesting items in the fine print for the Visa-sponsored comp certificate:
– valid only for Visa Signature cards, which might irritate some non-Signature Visa customers
– offer not valid for purchases made via iPhone (there must be something in the shopping cart that does not work on the iPhone)
2. My saved credit card in the site is a MasterCard; when I went to purchase the deal, there was no mention of the free certificate, nor any prompt to switch to Visa.
3. The merchant is receiving $5 for each certificate issued under the main deal. Visa’s sponsorship would need to cover some compensation to the merchant, but perhaps at less than $5 each, since fewer of the gifted certificates will be redeemed. It looks to be a popular offer, having sold almost 2,600 units (by 7 PM), with almost 10 hours remaining.

Visa Announces Android and P2P Mobile Initiatives

By Jim Bruene Posted on September 25, 2008
Categories: Alerts & Messaging, Chase Bank, Credit/Debit Cards, Mobile Banking, Mobile Payments, US Bank, VISA

Visa today put a stake in the ground to be viewed as the innovation leader, a position that American Express has claimed for some time with its chip cards, social media efforts, and even an online lab site. At today’s “innovation briefing” in NYC, Visa announced several pilots and upcoming initiatives.

Mobile person-to-person transfers
The most far-reaching announcement was the ability for Visa cardholders to transfer funds from one card to another via mobile device. So far, just one bank is participating in the pilot. US Bank says it will make the service available to a few thousand cardholders as a test later this year. PaymentsNews has more details here.

It sounds good, but as always the devil is in the details. For instance:

Through what hoops will cardholders have to jump to enable their card and phone for the service?
Will the transfers be treated as cash advances triggering fees and finance charges?
Will it be available to all cardholders using any mobile phones?

Visa jumps on the android bandwagon
A more immediate innovation is a location-and-alert-based service built for Google’s android platform, a new mobile system launching in late October. Visa’s new service, to be rolled out initially by Chase Bank (no time frame given), promises some important new developments:

“Near real-time” purchase alerts (see note 1) so you can see immediately whether your server added an extra digit in front of your tip on that bar tab. The real-time alert pilot was announced a month ago (here) involving several thousand accounts at PNC Bank, SunTrust Bank, US Bank, Wachovia, Wells Fargo, Royal Bank of Canada, TD Bank, and Vancity.
Visa merchant finder based on your location-based/GPS technology (nice!) with targeted marketing offers (hmmm??). The merchant locations will be integrated with Google Maps.

Again, PaymentsNews has the entire press release here.

Notes:
1. Visa says that the alerts will arrive “typically before (the consumer) leaves the store.”

2. For more information, see our Online Banking Report on Mobile Money & Payments.
