Data Center Migration
Enhanced Visa Security
Our migration to the Visa Data Center is underway, and we are making great progress. Below is information you need to ensure uninterrupted service for you and your customers. As a result, all Verifi partners will access a more efficient and streamlined platform to access Verifi products, called Verifi One. Advantages of the migration include:
- Applications housed on state-of-the-art infrastructure with superior security
- Proven scalability and stability
- Top notch disaster recovery to ensure minimal impact on operations
It is essential that you are aware of the changes below to ensure smooth transition to the Visa Data Center. You will have received an email from Verifi detailing specific impacts and any action items you’re requested to do prior to the migration. Those steps can be completed now. Migration will begin in July 2022 and must be completed by the end of September 2022. Please review the detailed email instructions received at your earliest convenience and reach out to Client Support at support@verifi.com or your Relationship Manager with any questions.

FAQs for Issuers
With this migration, will issuers have to use Verifi One?
Moving forward, there will be only one portal issuers will use to access Verifi platforms: verifi-one.visa.com. This updated portal will host both legacy CDRN and legacy Verifi One functionality. Issuers currently using MyC to use the “portal drop” functionality will be able to do so in the updated Verifi One portal.
Legacy Portal |
New Portal |
My.cdrn.com |
|
One.verifi.com |
Will a test environment be available for issuers to test new functionality and workflows in before migration? If so, when?
The test environment will be available prior to migration. Should you need to access this test environment, please let your Relationship Manager know and we will provide you with the appropriate technical information and requirements.
What are the changes for my Portal issuers?
There will be a new URL given to the issuer that will be different from the current used for Verifi One. The new URL to access the new portal is expected to be https://verifi-one.visa.com.
The following changes will also occur:
- User receives a prompt to set new user login details. This will be communicated via email once the new login information is established.
- The new user login criteria include username and password, as well as a new organization ID for added security.
For Issuers with API integrations – either directly connected or via third-party connections – what changes are necessary?
Issuers using a third-party connection or direct API connection will be required to change the URL and to connect with new API Key credentials. Details are as follows:
- New API URL – there will be a new API URL to replace api.cdrn.com. As currently planned, the new API URL will be verifiapi.visa.com.
- API credentials: new API Key credentials will be given to the integrator.
If an issuer has a custom integration with a third-party integrator or platform, how should they proceed to ensure successful migration?
A Verifi issuer’s dedicated relationship manager will reach out in the coming months to issuers with custom integrations to work through next steps alongside the third-party integrator or platform.
Questions related to Batch integrations:
- What changes will need to be made for issuers that utilize batch file (file transfer) via SFTP?
- What will be required to redirect to the VDC?
- Will there be a new URL given to the issuer?
- Will there be new user login issued?
Depending on where issuer drops the file transfer, the following are the expected changes:
For issuers that drop batch files to Verifi SFTP |
Affected changes:
|
For issuers that drop batch files to their SFTP server |
This allow list will ensure that our Visa application can still pick up the file from Issuer’s SFTP Server.
|
For issuers that receive encrypted MLE files from Verifi |
Issuer needs to provide PGP public key to Verifi/Visa. |
Will Portal Drop functionality be supported within MyCDRN following the migration to the Visa Data Center? If yes, what will be required to redirect the issuer? Will there be a new URL given to the issuer? Will there be a new user login issued?
A: Yes, portal drop (upload) via the application is still supported. The issuer user logs in to the upgraded Verifi One application with the new credentials and navigates to the case upload menu. Issuer users can then select a file to be uploaded to Verifi.
I am an issuer integrated to Verifi through a third-party case management tool, which adjustments to my integration need to be made?
Any integration adjustments that need to be made will be communicated to individual contracted issuers only. We expect issuer partners to share relevant information accordingly with their third-party case management provider.
