Products, Services, Technology and Payments Expertise
Access to secure electronic payments is a vital first step toward financial inclusion and economic growth and is critical to the development of strong, modern economies. These forms of payments promote transparency and accountability, reduce transaction costs, increase the number of people with access to formal financial services, and decrease the size of the gray or informal economy — all of which help stimulate economic growth and employment.
Visa is working to reach the financially underserved and facilitate financial inclusion by responsibly extending or sharing our products, services, technology and payments expertise. We believe three products in particular are key to serving this community:
As our business grows globally, we recognize the value we can bring to individuals, businesses and governments by simply providing them with access to secure, convenient and reliable payment products. It is a belief that can trace its roots back to the founding of our company 50 years ago and is a guiding principle for Visa as we prepare ourselves for the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.
