authorization rates
Most businesses with an online presence use payment tokenization to help protect customers' sensitive card data during transactions. But managing tokens from different networks, issuers, and channels can be complex.
Our card brand–agnostic Token Management Service lets you simplify token management for your merchants with a single point of integration. Streamlining network tokenization helps you create even more innovative, secure, and scalable solutions.
The insights that come with network tokens make it easier to recognize legitimate repeat customers—helping enhance approval rates and increase conversions. What's more, network tokens could help merchants realize higher authorization rates, which in turn can maximize revenue.

Token Management Service collects data from traditional card brands (including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and JCB) and alternative payment options (like eChecks and ACH) to provide a complete view of each customer's buying behavior across payment types.
With richer insights, merchants can build deeper relationships with their customers and create more personalized payment experiences across multiple channels.
Credentials are automatically refreshed across channels to help maximize revenue from returning customers, keep recurring payments flowing, and reduce friction.
Tokenizing sensitive cardholder information like addresses and phone numbers along with payment card data reduces risk, and Token Management Service adds further protection. Top-tier Visa security keeps sensitive data encrypted and secured, protecting it from breaches at every step of the payment process. And because payment data never touches your own or your merchants' internal systems, the scope of your PCI DSS compliance is reduced.
