Governance and Ethics
Upholding the highest standards of professional and personal conduct and acting with openness and transparency are essential parts of how Visa operates. These principles are critical to earning and retaining the trust of our financial institution clients, merchants and cardholders.
A comprehensive corporate governance framework ensures that we follow global best practices and provides a foundation for our approach. Visa’s corporate governance guidelines, charters and key practices of our board of directors provide the framework. Visa also is guided by a board composed of a majority of independent directors.
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics ensures that honesty and integrity are paramount in everything we do. The code applies to all employees and directors and covers a wide range of business practices and procedures.
