In July’s release, we launched VGS Network Tokens for enhanced payment acceptance, the Vault Tokenizer Snowflake App for seamless data tokenization, a self-serve Larky Editor for direct code edits, our new PCI Compliance Checker, and much more…
Unveiling VGS Network Tokens
VGS Network Tokens facilitate a secure and cheaper alternative to processing payments with PANs. Instead of transmitting PANs across the payment network, merchants can use Network Tokens which VGS provisions on their behalf. Network Tokens increase authorization rates by 2-3%¹, and receive up to 10 bps in processing cost incentives from the networks. Merchants can also reduce fraud by up to 28%¹ with Network Tokens, according to VISA.
VGS is one of the only global providers to offer a direct integration with VISA and Mastercard, which lowers latency and speeds up implementation by up to 4 months compared to a white-label provider.

VGS Vault Tokenizer Snowflake Native App
We’re excited to introduce the VGS Vault Tokenizer Snowflake App, a solution for Snowflake Database Administrators (DBAs) to secure sensitive data in their data warehouses. This app strikes the right balance between data protection and data access, letting DBAs streamline workflows while keeping information safe.
The app replaces complex Snowflake SQL commands with a simple user interface for data tokenization. It also simplifies applying data classification by assigning risk levels to table columns and controlling access.
Self-Service Larky Editor
Larky, a Python language derivative, allows you to embed decryption, encryption, signing and payload manipulation as part of your proxy processing. Typical use cases include integration with mobile wallets, legacy issuers and processors, as well as use of network tokens. With the new Self-Serve Larky Editor, you can write and edit Larky code directly within the platform with the convenience of making code changes right where you need them.

On-Demand Deletion of Volatile Aliases
A simple but powerful enhancement that gives you even more control over your sensitive data – the On-Demand Deletion of Volatile Aliases. Volatile aliases are intended to vault transitionary data like CVVs which have a default retention of an hour. In addition to the default retention, you can now initiate the deletion process for volatile aliases that are no longer required using an REST API call.
