This is my belief. VISA have made it clear that they do not wish other people
to
be using their credentials for their own purposes.
No credit card association seems to want their credentials to be used by
other but the MicroSoft/VISA and MasterCasd systems certainly provide
non-repudiation and are usable by others.
Problem is that providing non-repudiation only to particular parties is a non
trivial problem.
