Improve your customer payment experience

Visa Sensory Branding offers your customers a consistent payment experience for their approved Visa transactions.

Welcome to sensory branding

As the payment industry evolves, consumers want to know they can securely use new payment methods. Visa Sensory Branding helps consumers feel confident when making purchases. Using sight, sound and a haptic vibration on applicable devices, it confirms an approved Visa transaction.
