From the latest earnings call
- CFO Chris Suh said fiscal fourth-quarter cross-border volume growth accelerated from the prior quarter, primarily because of travel, while client incentives rose following new deals.
- CEO Ryan McInerney said Visa expects value-added services revenue growth in the low to mid-20s in fiscal 2027, supported by underlying business drivers and client demand.

Visa is a payments technology company that helps money move between consumers, sellers, financial institutions, businesses and governments. It was founded in 1958, is headquartered in Mission Rock and is led by Chief Executive Officer Ryan McInerney.
Visa’s network, VisaNet, connects the parties involved in a payment. In a typical card purchase, the seller’s payment provider sends transaction details through Visa to the financial institution that issued the card. The issuer checks the account and authorizes the purchase; Visa also provides clearing and settlement services that help the parties complete it.
