Visa

Visa operates a scaled payment network that connects issuers, merchants, acquirers, fintechs and other payment participants. It creates value by enabling payment acceptance, fund movement, checkout, security, risk management and analytics across a large installed ecosystem. Revenue is generated through transaction-driven fees on network usage, service fees for enterprise payment products and additional monetisation from software-like data tools, fraud solutions, consulting and partner services.
