About Visa

Products and Services

Visa partners with financial institutions around the world to create payment products that meet the needs of today’s global consumer through choice, convenience and control.

Choice

Visa’s spectrum of payment tools is designed to meet diverse lifestyles and needs. Visa cardholders can choose to pay now using a debit card, to pay later with a credit card or pay before with a prepaid card.

Convenience

From the gas station to the grocery store to the Internet, Visa offers consumers a single global currency that works virtually anywhere, anytime. Visa cardholders enjoy greater convenience and ease of use over other forms of payment, and have the ability to use their Visa products in more than 200 countries and territories.

Control

Visa offers greater control over spending than cash, and state-of-the-art security features help safeguard cardholder funds in ways that cash or checks cannot.
