Visa’s Digital products are focused on building additional flexibility into our existing platform architecture to more quickly launch into the market new, innovative offerings that create tremendous value for payments aggregators (e.g. Financial Institutions, Merchants, Processors, and Emerging Payments Providers) and delight end consumer users.

Visa Direct is a payment service that Visa provides to clients (issuers, acquirers, processors, merchants and service providers etc.) to facilitate funds transfers/disbursements to Visa accounts in the U.S. and around the world using push payment technology, i.e. Original Credit Transaction (OCT). In the US, Visa Direct consumer and business applications include person to person (P2P) transfers, person to micro-business transfers (e.g. payments to landscaper), and funds disbursements (e.g. insurance claim disbursements).
