Scheduled - Visa will be updating a set of staging and production Leaf certificates that are set to expire on March 28, 2026 and April 3, 2026. To prevent disruption to services, we ask that you review your configuration immediately.
The Leaf certificates that are expiring are the client certificates sent by VISA to your endpoint as part of the mutual TLS (MTLS) handshake for RDX, ADX, or Oauth connections.
Please review the certs below to see if they are in use with your VCAS connection.
The expiring STAGING leaf certificate details:
Common Name (CN): rdxstag.cardinalcommerce.com Serial Number: 0d:d1:c3:f3:51:d6:14:49:b0:70:2f:5e:c0:d1:4a:47 Date of Replacement: February 26, 2026 10:00 EDT Date of Expiry: March 28, 2026 18:59:50 EDT
The new STAGING leaf certificate details: Common Name (CN): rdxstag.cardinalcommerce.com Date of Replacement: February 26, 2026 10:00 EDT Date of Expiry: February 20, 2027 6:59:59 EDT
The expiring PRODUCTION leaf certificate details: Common Name (CN): rdx.cardinalcommerce.com Serial Number: 0e:ad:8d:09:10:2f:51:d8:0f:b6:14:ee:c1:75:f0:a1 Date of Replacement: March 5, 2026 10:00 EDT Date of Expiry: April 3, 2026 18:59:59 EDT

The Intermediate CA and Root CA will remain the same:
Intermediate Certificate Details: Common Name (CN): DigiCert Global G2 TLS RSA SHA256 2020 CA1 Serial Number: 0c:f5:bd:06:2b:56:02:f4:7a:b8:50:2c:23:cc:f0:66
Root Certificate Details: Common Name (CN): DigiCert Global Root G2 Serial Number: 03:3a:f1:e6:a7:11:a9:a0:bb:28:64:b1:1d:09:fa:e5
Customer Responsibilities:
If you trust on the leaf certificate, we will have to coordinate the switchover with your connection. Please contact your local VCAS support and/or account manager to coordinate this change.
If you require coordination, we will schedule a time to switch over the leaf certificate. It is imperative that the migration occur before certificate expiration, otherwise RDX services will be impacted.
If you do not require coordination, we will be performing the switchover to the new client certificates on the dates specified above.
If you trust on the Intermediate and Root CA certificate, you do not need to make any modifications. If you do not require coordination, we will be performing the switchover to the new client certificates on the above dates.
Testing – How can I test these changes?
Customers are encouraged to work with their network teams to ensure they can support the updated certificates.
No new parameters or fields are required for these changes. If you do not trust the new certificate, you will be unable to connect to Cardinal endpoints receiving a connection timeout or certificate error response.
Please do not hesitate to contact your Local VISA support if you have any questions or concerns. You may also contact support or your account manager if you require the full Cert Chain.

Scheduled - Dear Customer,
This is a critical service reminder from CardinalCommerce/Visa for Cardinal Consumer Authentication (CCA). You must migrate to the new CCA endpoints or trust new IPs to avoid service disruption.
Key Dates & Impact NOVEMBER 14, 2025 - Effective this date, all CCA API keys have been mapped to support their use against the new Visa transaction endpoints. Please note this applies to both Staging/CAS and Production endpoints (".cardinaltrusted.com"). Clients will need to initiate migration as soon as possible to avoid key expiry.
JANUARY 07, 2026 – STAGING (Test) Environment Cutover will begin. As previously communicated all legacy Cardinal endpoints are changing (https://developer.cardinaltrusted.com/docs/pilot-migration-program). All customers using trust listings for outbound traffic will need to include the following IP addresses:
--New for both STAG/PROD: 198.217.251.250 198.217.251.251 198.241.173.0/24 198.241.176.0/24
--Transaction processing in STAGING will break if migration to new endpoints is not completed.
MARCH 02, 2026 – PRODUCTION Environment Cutover --Shortly after legacy STAGING is decommissioned, Legacy Cardinal Production endpoints will be decommissioned --Contact Cardinal Support for assistance in configuring your Production account with us. --You must complete migration in advance to avoid production customer transaction failures.
Immediate Next Steps 1. Email or call your CCA Implementation Manager or contact Support. 2. Schedule your migration and testing in STAGING now. 3. Confirm with CCA Implementation or Support when testing is complete so Production enablement can be performed.
Potential Consequences of Delaying Action --Service disruption --Inability to process transactions --Potential business impact to your payment operations
Please act immediately — migration work can be done now, and our team is ready to assist. Update your transaction endpoints well ahead of the 2026 deadline to limit any risk of unintended disruption.

Scheduled - As communicated in our February 6, 2025 Visa Business News (VBN-AI14914), VCAS Status Page, and VCAS Updates email, VCAS will be migrating to the Visa U.S. data centers. The next milestone of this migration is to update the Visa Directory Server on behalf of our customers with a new ACS URL and Method URL. The new VCAS ACS URL and Method URL will start sending authentication requests through the Visa data center to the CardinalCommerce data center. Since authentication requests will still be processed at the Cardinal data center as they are today, there will be no change to your connection to VCAS. This first cutover will allow us to have more control, speed, flexibility, and reduce the risk of the actual data center migration for our customers later this year.
There will be additional communications on the other networks we support: Mastercard, Discover, ELO, eftpos, UPI, American Express, and JCB.
There is no action you need to take for the Visa Directory Server update.
After the Visa Directory Server cutover (dates listed below), instead of your cardholder’s authentication requests going directly to the CardinalCommerce data center, they will first go through the Visa data center (see diagram below). There is no impact on how you are integrated with VCAS today. The adjustments will take place between the Visa Directory Server and VCAS, changing the way transactions are initially routed to VCAS.
We are notifying you, our customer, so you can mark the date based on your region and perform additional monitoring, if you would like. The Visa and VCAS Teams will be monitoring each of these cutovers to ensure a smooth transition. We do not expect there to be any downtime during this change. If there are any concerns, we will use our status page to communicate.
Visa Directory Server Update Dates
LAC: February 3rd, 2026 February 5th, 2026
AP: February 10th, 2026 February 12th, 2026
CEMEA: February 17th, 2026
NA: February 24th, 2026
All (any remaining ranges not cutover yet): March 5th, 2026
Visa will use the following channels to communicate data center migration updates and strongly recommends VCAS users subscribe to ensure receipt of migration-related communications and notifications.
•VCAS Status Page / CardinalCommerce Status (https://cardinalcommercecorporation.statuspage.io): This status page is primarily used to communicate planned and unplanned events that may impact operational status.
•The Visa.com Opt-in to VCAS updates page (https://globalclient.visa.com/Opt-inToVCASUpdatesToday): This is primarily for new VCAS product information, updates and educational opportunities. Visa will also use this channel to communicate data center migration updates via email.
Reminder: Two Possible Readiness Actions Based on Your VCAS Solution
As a reminder, based on your VCAS solution, there are two potential readiness actions you need to take prior to July 1st, 2026.
Trust IP Ranges VCAS users that have integrated Real-time Data Exchange (RDX) or Authentication Data Exchange (ADX) APIs will need to:
•Trust the following IP subnet ranges (preferred): 198.241.177.0/24 198.241.169.0/24
•If the full IP ranges cannot be trusted, the below IPs should be trusted (minimum requirement): 198.241.177.108 198.241.177.109 198.241.169.24 198.241.169.34
•Continue to trust current IP addresses until the migration is complete 198.217.252.0/24 198.217.253.0/24
•VCAS will be conducting tests throughout the Readiness and Migration Phases to ensure our customers are trusting the new IPs. Please do not block the IPs if you see connectivity trusts.
Request a Project
VCAS users that use file transfer services (Secure File Transfer Protocol [SFTP] Reporting, File Processor or Bulk Confirmed Marking will need to request a project using the Visa Support Hub (https://visasupporthub.visaonline.com) via Visa Access (formerly Visa Online) or their Customer Success Manager (CSM).
The objective of this project is to establish connectivity between the user’s system and the Visa File Exchange Service (VFES). A secondary project will be needed to complete the actual data center migration; this secondary project will include testing the files before sending traffic to the Visa data center.
Visit the Visa Support Hub to search for answers to your questions and create a case, if needed. Otherwise:
CardinalCommerce will be performing database system improvements starting at 12:00 UTC on February 9, 2026, through 23:59 UTC on February 12, 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.
In addition, as part of our ongoing preparation for the Centinel Endpoint Migration previously communicated in November 2025 (https://cardinalcommercecorporation.statuspage.io/incidents/6x4q77c2yg33) we will be performing a brief cutover to the new IP's on February 11, 2026, from 15:00-20:00 UTC.
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.
