To better support their 17 million merchants, VISA commissioned the development of the Visa Business resource Center (VISA BRC) which later became the Visa Merchant Resource Center within Visa.com.

Riptide developed a sophisticated, Net Perceptions driven, artificial intelligence engine for the portal.

This AI tool was presented to merchants by way of a suite of friendly, animated assistants who asked key questions to begin formulating a merchant profile. Based on the answers to the questions, as well as the merchants browsing patterns within the site, different, tailored resources were suggested.
