If you’re evaluating network token providers, this distinction is the difference between true payment orchestration and vendor lock-in. Most solutions route through a PSP, which introduces unnecessary latency, higher costs, and rigid dependencies.

The @getVGS Difference:
🔓 Multi-Processor Flexibility: Use your tokens across any PSP in your stack—don’t let one provider hold your data hostage.
⚡ Ultra-Low Latency: Direct network connections eliminate "extra hops," speeding up transaction times when every millisecond counts.
📈 Higher Auth Rates: Real-time lifecycle management and cleaner data lead to fewer declines.
🔁 Total Portability: Your tokens stay with you as your payment architecture evolves.

Why architecture matters: As network tokens become the foundation for fraud reduction and payment optimization, choosing a provider with direct access ensures you gain a competitive advantage—not a new dependency.

Own your data. Own your routing. Own your growth. 🚀

@getVGS CEO, Chuck Yu, published a new article on @Forbes 📰👏

As payments grow more complex and AI-powered commerce continues to evolve, the choices businesses make today will shape their ability to scale tomorrow. 💳🤖

The article highlights five foundational questions every business should ask before building (or rebuilding) its payments infrastructure, including:

📈Is your payment volume ready for optimization?
💳Are your transactions structured correctly as CITs or MITs?
⚖️Should you operate as the Merchant of Record or a payment enabler?
🔐Which payment form factors best support flexibility and security?
🚀Is your Payment Service Provider set up to scale with your business?

Getting these decisions right early can help businesses avoid costly complexity, improve scalability, and build a stronger foundation for future growth.

🚀 We're heading to Boston! @getVGS will be at @PaymentsEd July 27th-29th.

AI agents are increasingly transacting on behalf of consumers. Networks are pushing new tokenization standards. And the pressure to reduce PCI scope while keeping data flowing freely across your systems has never been higher. The merchants who get ahead of these shifts now, rather than reacting to them later, will be the ones who win on speed, security, and customer experience.

That's where we come in. VGS helps you secure and unlock your payment data so it works for you: giving you flexibility across processors and partners and turning sensitive data from a liability into an asset.

If you're rethinking your payment strategy or just want to trade notes on where the industry is headed, our team would love to connect.

See you in Boston! 👋

🤖 AI agents are getting better at discovering products, comparing options, and making decisions. But there is still one critical question.

Can they actually pay? 💳

In @getVGS's latest blog, our Head of Wallets & PSP Partnerships, Bassam Chamaa, explores the missing piece of agentic commerce and why secure, seamless payments will determine how far AI-powered shopping can go.

From payment credentials to trust, security, and protocols, the future of AI commerce depends on more than intelligent shopping. It depends on intelligent payments. 🔐

👉 Choosing the right account validation method starts with understanding what each card network supports.

We've put together a quick reference comparing validation methods and network support across the payments ecosystem.

Everyone is talking about AI agents.
Not enough people are talking about where the data goes.

As agents move from answering questions to taking actions, retrieving customer records, processing payments, calling APIs, and executing workflows, they inevitably interact with sensitive data.

That raises an important question:
👉 How do you keep PII, payment credentials, and regulated data out of agent memory, model context windows, traces, and logs?

Our latest blog explores how Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and VGS complement each other to solve this challenge.

@amazon Bedrock AgentCore provides the infrastructure to build, connect, and operate AI agents at scale.

@getVGS provides the secure data layer, tokenizing sensitive information before it reaches the agent and detokenizing only when needed by downstream systems.

The result:
🔒 Secure agentic workflows
📉 Reduced compliance scope
🧹 Cleaner traces and logs
💳 Support for agentic payments and commerce

If you're building production AI agents, the orchestration layer is only half the stack. The data layer matters just as much.

Great week at @sbc_americas in Fort Lauderdale, connecting with operators, PSPs, fintechs, and infrastructure providers across the gaming and payments ecosystem.

We were in attendance (did you say hi to @getVGS's Jason Heister?!), meeting with industry leaders and sharing perspectives on where payments infrastructure is headed as gaming, fintech, and AI continue to converge.

One thing was clear from the conversations on and off the show floor: payments are becoming a key differentiator for growth.

📈 Takeaway 1: Payments Are Becoming a Growth Lever
Leading operators are investing in payment experiences that drive acquisition, lift conversion, and increase player retention.
🎯 Takeaway 2: Vertical Expertise Is Winning
Generic solutions are giving way to specialized partners who understand the regulations and customer expectations of the industries they serve.
📊 Takeaway 3: The Market Is Maturing
Buyers are asking harder questions, moving past features to scalability, operational efficiency, compliance, and long-term impact.

🤖 And the question we kept circling: as AI agents begin initiating transactions, who owns the tokenization and orchestration layer that keeps Card on File secure? For gaming and payments alike, that's the next frontier.

A big thank you to SBC Summit Americas for bringing together such a valuable mix of industry leaders and innovators.

💬 To the operators and PSPs we met: where's your biggest payment bet this year? Growth, retention, or getting agent-ready? We'd love to hear from you!

✅ Most companies think account validation is a single check.

🚫 It's not.

What many call "account validation" is actually a collection of signals that answer entirely different questions:
💳 Card Verification: Is this a valid account?
🔒 CVC Verification: Does the customer have the card details?
📍 AVS: Does the billing address match issuer records?
👤 Account Name Inquiry (ANI): Does the account belong to the person claiming ownership?

Each serves a different purpose, and the right validation strategy can influence far more than fraud prevention.

In our latest blog, we break down how Card Verification, CVC Verification, AVS, and ANI compare, where each is most effective, and why modern payment workflows often rely on multiple validation signals working together.

🇳🇱 Last week at @money2020 Europe in Amsterdam, @getVGS had the opportunity to join some of the brightest minds in fintech, payments, AI, and digital infrastructure to discuss what comes next for agentic commerce.

🤝 Together with @Nevermined_ai, we hosted an intimate dinner to discuss agentic commerce and payments, bringing together founders, investors, and infrastructure leaders for an open conversation about the future of machine-to-machine transactions.

Some standout discussions included:
🤖 AI agents are moving from assistants to executing transactions on behalf of users and businesses. As a result, payment infrastructure must evolve to support autonomy without sacrificing trust.
🛡️ Controls matter as much as capability. Spend controls, dynamic authorization policies, and governance frameworks emerged as critical building blocks for safe agent-driven commerce.
🔐 Tokenization is foundational for payment acceptance. Merchants continue to converge around tokenization as a key enabler of secure payment experiences, helping organizations reduce PCI scope while increasing flexibility and resilience.

🙏 Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the discussion. The excitement around AI is undeniable, but the conversations in Amsterdam made one thing clear: the real opportunity lies in building the trusted infrastructure that enables autonomous commerce to scale

📍Yesterday in San Francisco, we did something we don't often do: gather a select group of merchants and spend a full day digging deep into subscription strategy.

The @getVGS Subscription Workshop, led by 20-year subscription and payments veteran and VGS’s Head of Payments Strategy, Melissa Shields, went straight to the details of recurring optimization and how to leave nothing on the table.

A few moments that stuck with us:
🏗️ Is there an architecture for retention? YES. Melissa shared detailed subscription business models, testing structures, vaulting strategy, real-world credential impacts (and use cases), and mapping strategies for leveraging PSP and Network data to ensure you know ‘why’ your transactions are failing and how to solve for it- without exploding your core cost of payment.
🔁 Everyone wants a silver bullet or a how-to guide for failed payments. There isn't one, only years of actual experience layered with intelligent testing methodologies. The room held robust debate, sharing insights and detailed learnings on industry changes, pain points, and what's still out there to capture. CMSPI’s Robbie MacDiarmid, CPFPP, and CJ Brown put a bow on the session, sharing recent test insights on global CIT, MIT, and AIT performance.
⚖️ A healthy dose of perspective (and humor) was then provided by Marc Roth, who provided a look at the latest subscription laws and compliance requirements for merchants, some industry examples, and what to keep in mind for the year ahead.
🤖Finally, the team wrapped up the day walking through the details of how agentic channels and tokens are evolving, concluding with a fun round of 'test your agentic knowledge' trivia!

🙏 Huge thanks to the amazing roster of merchants who made it a packed house and a day we hope provided outcomes, not just talking points.
