An innovative payment experience for an evolving industry

Learn how Visa Sensory Branding can help you differentiate your payment solution and attract more business.

What is Visa Sensory Branding?

When a Visa transaction is approved, it will trigger an animation, sound and haptic vibration where applicable, helping to put the consumer payment experience at the forefront. As payment methods evolve, sensory branding assures the consumer that their purchase made using Visa has been approved.
