Chargeback Gurus Debuts Visa VAMP Risk Calculator to Help Merchants Assess Impact of New Rules

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chargeback Gurus (CBG), a leader in chargeback management, today announced the launch of its VAMP Risk Calculator.

The tool is designed to help merchants understand the financial impact of the Visa Acquirer Monitoring Program (VAMP), which will begin enforcement on October 1, 2025.

“The Visa Acquirer Monitoring Program represents a major shift in what merchants need to know about their performance, their costs and their risk,” said Tim Tynan, CEO of Chargeback Gurus. “With CBG’s VAMP Risk Calculator we leverage analytics and trend analysis; to give merchants the ability to see what VAMP might cost them and what they stand to gain by being proactive in managing their thresholds.”

CBG has been ready for VAMP since April, offering a platform that tracks and monitors VAMP ratios by merchant ID in a unified dashboard and delivers early warning notifications to help merchants address issues before they escalate. The new VAMP Risk Calculator builds on this foundation by giving all merchants access to a preliminary estimate of what the program could mean for their business.

“The new VAMP Risk Calculator complements the existing Chargeback ROI Calculator on our website, giving merchants a more complete view of how disputes and compliance programs impact their bottom line,” said Damo Sampathkumar, Chief Product Officer at Chargeback Gurus. “These tools reflect our commitment to equipping merchants with practical resources that simplify complex challenges and deliver measurable results.”

The VAMP Risk Calculator gives merchants a valuable estimate of their risk under the new program and empowers them to take informed action. The tool is now available on the CBG website at https://www.chargebackgurus.com/vamp-calculator.
