KYCP Integration with VISA Trusted Agent Protocol to Enhance Merchant Due Diligence

November 11, 2025

Discover how KYCP’s new Data Service Integration (DSI) connects with VISA Trusted Agent Protocol to centralise merchant risk data, automate due diligence, and simplify compliance.

As part of the overall remit of KYCP serving as the ultimate risk orchestration tool, clients of ours have asked for particular data agents to be incorporated within the overall journey of due diligence of merchants. This update is delivered through KYCP’s latest innovation: The Data Service Integration (DSI) module.

Streamlining Third-Party Data Access Through DSI

The new module DSI is fully focused on being able to call third party data agent services and be able to select and map the responses within KYCP.

KYCP is one of the most advanced Risk Orchestration tools on the market. A dynamic, real time, lifecycle management platform that caters for the fully due diligence process, from onboarding all throughout automating the back-office. Streamlining the ongoing remit of due diligence and perpetual KYC.

Centralising Merchant Risk Data in One Platform

Clients have long sought the ability to centralise all data points tied to a counterparty — from AML and KYC data to credit ratings, market insights, and transaction monitoring. With KYCP’s latest update, this information can now be accessed, processed, and acted upon from a single unified record.

This centralisation empowers compliance teams to:
  • Streamline merchant onboarding and risk reviews.
  • Improve real-time decision-making and audit readiness.
  • Automate workflows triggered by external data responses.
This feature focuses on the integration with VISA - Trusted Agent Protocol. A tool that is focused on improving transparency, safety, and merchant visibility in agentic commerce transactions.

How the VISA Trusted Agent Integration Works

The new integration allows KYCP users to initiate a VISA Trusted Agent Protocol search directly within the system via a new “Data Source Integration Search” button. Once activated, the search automatically retrieves details of the main entity (the merchant), the principal owner, and any associated outlets.
 
 
 
Triggering the search will load the results that VISA processed with the data submitted from the record. The results are shown within KYCP, avoiding the need to have to access and use different systems.
 
 
 

Clicking on the VIEW button will load the entire record of the merchant as well as the principals.

All the data points from VISA will be mapped to the fields in KYCP automatically for auto population. The system will clearly highlight the matched data.
 
 
At result level the system will allow you to set the MATCH on the respective record.
 
 
 
Upon setting of a match all the data coming from VISA would be automatically saved in the root entity of the application in KYCP. As part of the critical data being saved are the search date as well as the status of Termination. This will assist you in identifying if the respective agent and merchant are active or terminated.

Expanding to Mastercard and Amex Integrations

Our development roadmap includes similar integrations with Mastercard and American Express. This will allow clients to check merchant and counterparty activity across major providers through a single centralised solution which in turn strengthens visibility and risk oversight across the payment ecosystem.
