📋About Visa

Updated September 16, 2026

Visa operates one of the world's largest electronic-payments networks, connecting billions of cards with merchants and financial institutions. Founded in 1958 and headquartered in San Francisco, Visa has moved beyond card authorization into a broad platform of value-added services — risk scoring, tokenization, and data products. Its 2026 push into agentic commerce (Visa Intelligent Commerce) positions the network as infrastructure for a world where AI assistants shop and pay, extending Visa's tokenization and authentication expertise to autonomous agents.
