Visa

Visa is one of the world's leaders in digital payments. Our purpose is to uplift everyone, everywhere by being the best way to pay and be paid. Since Visa's early days in 1958, we have been in the business of facilitating secure, reliable and efficient global commerce and money movement. We provide transaction processing services (primarily authorization, clearing and settlement) among consumers, issuing and acquiring financial institutions and sellers in a structure we call the 'four-party' model. As the payments ecosystem continues to evolve, we have broadened this model to include digital banks, digital wallets, a range of financial technology companies (fintechs), governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). We are focused on extending, enhancing and investing in our proprietary advanced transaction processing network, VisaNet, to offer a single connection point for facilitating money movement to multiple endpoints through various form factors and innovative technologies across more than 200 countries and territories. Visa is embedding AI and agentic capabilities across both its internal workflows and its products, enabling internal efficiencies and more automated, analytics-driven solutions for clients and partners. These solutions, in turn, are helping our clients improve fraud prevention, risk management and payment performance, while enhancing the security, reliability and trust that underpin payments. During fiscal 2026, 355 billion payments and cash transactions with Visa's brand were processed by Visa or other networks, equating to an average of 973 million transactions per day. Visa's total payments and cash volume was $18 trillion, and we had over 5 billion payment credentials that were available to be used at more than 400 million seller locations worldwide.
