About Visa Inc.
Visa runs a global electronic payments network, connecting banks, merchants, and cardholders rather than issuing cards or lending money itself. Its services cover credit, debit, and prepaid card payments, along with the authorization, clearing, and settlement handled through its VisaNet system, plus commercial payment products and other services. Ryan McInerney serves as chief executive. Visa operates in more than 200 countries and territories, and its network is built to process tens of thousands of transaction messages every second. The company earns money from fees tied to payment volume and processed transactions rather than from lending to cardholders.
