In September 2014, Visa launched Visa Token Service (VTS), an innovative technology that replaces sensitive payment account information found on plastic cards, such as the 16-digit account number, expiration date and security code, with a unique series of numbers that can authorize payment without exposing actual account details. To date, more than 500 financial institutions have started to implement VTS. In 2015, the service will expand to more payment environments, helping merchants, financial institutions and mobile device manufacturers to offer secure digital payment experiences.
