Visa PLUS
PLUS is Visa’s global mark for automated teller machines, or ATMs. Cardholders can use the PLUS-branded ATM card issued by their financial institution to obtain 24/7 access to their funds on deposit in local currency through a network of ATMs in 170 countries and territories.
How PLUS Works
PLUS is an acceptance mark that may be used alone or in combination with other marks to expand a card’s utility for cardholders. Cards may be issued with PLUS as the primary mark, or products such as Visa debit may include a PLUS mark on the back. PLUS is designed to provide highly effective risk control for issuers and cardholders, since all PLUS transactions must be electronically authorized, and authorization is enabled exclusively by a personal identification number (PIN).
The PLUS system uses wholesale rates of exchange, so cardholders are always assured of receiving a favorable rate of exchange when traveling.
