• Merchants who engage in the sale of age-restricted products, such as alcohol and tobacco, are responsible for implementing effective processes and controls to ensure full compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
• Merchants need to be mindful that the possession of a Visa card or the submission of Visa account information by a customer does not necessarily indicate that the cardholder is of legal age to purchase age-restricted products.
• Visa cards may be issued to individuals who are not necessarily over 18 years of age.
