You’re an Individual. We’re the team for you. Together, let’s transform the way the world pays.

Payments and commerce are undergoing dramatic transformations globally and in every market in which Visa operates, driven by profound changes in consumer and merchant expectations, technology, data and regulations.  This is leading to an accelerated shift to digital commerce, the rise of FinTech’s and large digital platforms, and the proliferation of entirely new payments use cases and flows.  As a result, under the leadership of its Chief Product Officer, Visa has been investing to develop a significantly expanded set of products, platforms and partnerships, working backward from needs and opportunities of the broader global commerce ecosystem.
