AMMF Report

Description

The Acquirer Merchant Master File (AMMF) is a compliance-focused report that aggregates all the necessary data that acquirers must submit to Visa. Generated by collecting data from various internal Silverflow events, this report is pre-formatted to meet Visa's specific requirements. Agents can create and submit the AMMF report themselves or use Silverflow’s direct submission feature for automated SFTP delivery.

Audience

Compliance

Purpose

The Acquirer Merchant Master File (AMMF) report is designed to help Acquirers meet their compliance obligations with Visa. Its core purpose is to:

Provide a single, aggregated report with all the necessary merchant data to satisfy Visa’s monthly reporting requirements.
Supports self-submission as well as automated SFTP delivery, simplifying the process of submitting and managing response files.

Considerations

Automated submission of AMMF files: We can submit the file for you, and manage any response files that are received back. To enable this, set the directSubmission parameter to true when creating the report.
Generate at least monthly: Acquirers are mandated to provide this report at least once per month, but they may do so more often. Silverflow does not provide a scheduling functionality for AMMF yet.
Single global format: While there exist multiple regional formats for the AMMF report, Visa allows Silverflow to provide a single unified global format. That is the report that we are populating. Please take this into account when comparing our report to the one you may receive from Visa.
