Visa Inc. (/ˈviːzə/ or

corporation headquartered in Foster
City, California, United States. It facilitates
electronic funds transfers throughout the world, most commonly through
Visa-branded credit cards and debit cards.[3] Visa does not issue cards, extend
credit or set rates and fees for consumers; rather, Visa provides financial
institutions with Visa-branded payment products that they then use to offer
credit, debit, prepaid and cash-access programs to their customers. In 2008,
according to The Nilson Report, Visa held a 38.3% market share of the credit
card marketplace and 60.7% of the debit card marketplace in the United
States.[4] In 2009, Visa’s global network (known as VisaNet) processed 62 billion
transactions with a total volume of $4.4 trillion.[5][6]
Visa has operations across Australia, Oceania, Asia-Pacific, North America,
Central and South America, the Caribbean, Western Europe, Central and Eastern
Europe, Africa and Middle East. Visa Europe is a separate membership entity that is an
exclusive licensee of Visa Inc.'s trademarks and technology in the European
region, issuing cards such as Visa Debit.
