VMSS code 35: Disqualification from the Visa Payment System
Official definition and what it means for your removal request.
Definition
Visa disqualified the Merchant or Third Party Agent from participating in the Visa payment system.
What this means in plain language
Visa formally barred the merchant or agent from participating in its network—often the most severe Visa-level action short of law enforcement. Removals require showing material change or error correction where applicable.
What you can do
If you were listed under VMSS code 35, you can submit a formal removal request to the PSP or acquirer that added you. They will review your case and, if satisfied, can request removal from the VMSS list. We help you draft and submit that request. See VMSS removal and all MATCH and VMSS reason codes.
