Visa Inc. - is an international transnational company that provides services for financial transactions. The beginning of the history of the brand can be considered 1958 when Bank of America issued a card called BankAmericard. All transactions with these cards were carried out through a separate organization BankAmericard Service Corporation. Over time, it became necessary to rename the payment system. This decision was made to popularize the company outside the United States. The first card transaction with the new VISA name was conducted in July 1976.
As an autonomous legal entity, Visa Inc. was registered in 2007, the corporation debuted on the stock exchange in March 2008. Visa's shares traded at $44 at the IPO. A total of 406 million securities worth $17.9 billion were sold. Now Visa Stock is available to investors on the NYSE under the ticker V.
The company gives customers access to financial transactions through its network of electronic payments. Transactions are conducted through the VisaNet processing system. This network is capable of processing about 65,000 transactions per second. Cardholders are guaranteed financial and personal security. The company does not provide banking services directly. The organization works with banks and other financial institutions, helping them organize money transfers and currency conversions.
Visa issues several types of cards: debit, credit, and prepaid. Visa announced the Visa payWave feature in 2007, which enables contactless payments. This feature is based on RFID technology and was later renamed Visa Contactless.
At the end of 2021, Visa announced the launch of a service that provides advisory services on cryptography. Its users get access to training materials, backend support, and other features. Representatives of the corporation said that Visa has plans to work with banks that provide services related to the storage, purchase, and sale of digital currencies.
As of June 1, 2022, Visa's financial results exceeded analysts' forecasts for net revenue in eight out of 10 consecutive quarters. The company's strong performance over the past few years has been responsible for achieving these numbers. Visa has been increasing its payment volume and the number of transactions processed each year.
According to the results for the second fiscal quarter of 2022, the corporation's payment volumes grew 11.1 percent year over year. During the three months, this figure was $3.4 trillion.

In March 2022 Visa suspended its operations in Russia amid a military special operation in Ukraine. In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the company reported a loss of $60 million, of which $35 million was due to administrative expenses related to the deconsolidation of its subsidiary in Russia.
Visa's fiscal year 2021, which ended Sept. 30, was a mixed year for the company. At the beginning of the reporting period, there was a decline in sales. However, in the third and fourth quarters, the corporation compensated for this slump by increasing sales by 27% and 29% year-on-year, respectively.
In late April, the company presented its report for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Its data showed that Visa exceeded analysts' consensus forecast on net revenue.
