Business profile

Updated

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.
