In progress - Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.
Jul 13, 2026 - 08:00 EDT
Scheduled - CardinalCommerce will be performing database system improvements starting at 12:00 UTC on July 13, 2026, through 23:59 UTC on July 16th, 2026. During this time, we will apply the most recent network and database patches as well as targeted security enhancements to prevent new exploits from being used against our systems.
We perform monitoring and testing of the updates during Cardinal business hours, while we are fully staffed from a support and network operations standpoint.
This is being performed in a high availability mode and should have no impact to transaction processing. While no transaction impact is anticipated during this maintenance you may experience a few periods of network latency.
We appreciate your partnership as we continue improving the stability and security of our platform. If you have questions or would like support preparing for this change, our team is here to help.
We want to inform you that the upcoming informational customer webinar on the Visa Consumer Authentication Service (VCAS) Data Center (DC) Migration) has been rescheduled. The updated dates and times for each region are listed below.
This webinar, hosted by Sandra Hullinger (Client Services) and Austin Poole (Product), will provide essential guidance to help you prepare for the upcoming migration and understand the actions required for a successful transition.
Receive key information about the VCAS DC Migration, including: • Required actions to prepare for the migration • The timeline of the migration and steps taken by our team • Steps needed to migrate successfully
Following the presentation, there will be a Q&A session to address additional questions you may have. We encourage your participation to ensure you are prepared for this transition. Your involvement is crucial for a successful migration.
