Paper or plastic? Visa hopes you choose the latter. Visa operates the world's largest consumer payment system (ahead of MasterCard and American Express) with some 1.7 billion credit and other payment cards in circulation. It licenses the Visa name to member institutions, which issue and market their own Visa products and participate in the VisaNet payment system (authorization, processing, and settlement services). Visa also provides its customers with debit cards, Internet payment systems, value-storing smart cards, and traveler's checks. Visa Inc. was formed in the 2007 merger of entities including Visa International, Visa Canada, and Visa U.S.A.; it went public the following year, raising $17 billion. To read the full description, subscribe now.
