Visa Inc
We operate in the global payments industry, which is undergoing a major shift
from paper-based payments, such as cash and checks, to card-based and other electronic
payments. For more than 30 years, Visa has played a central role in driving this
migration by providing payment products and services that we believe deliver significant
benefits to consumers, businesses, governments and merchants. We believe that
consumers are increasingly attracted to the convenience, security, enhanced services
and rewards associated with electronic payment forms. We also believe that corporations
and governments are shifting to electronic payments to improve efficiency, control
and security, and that a growing number of merchants are accepting electronic
payments to improve sales and customer convenience.
