Our Partners - VISA
Visa Europe is a membership association - an organisation owned and operated by
its 4,500 European member banks. As a dedicated European organisation it is able
to respond quickly to the specific market needs of European banks and their customers
- cardholders and retailers, and to meet the European Commission's objective
to create a true internal market for payments.
Visa Europe is a part owner of Visa International, the organisation that ensures
global interoperability of products as well as management of the Visa brand.
In October 2006, Visa announced that it intends to restructure its entire worldwide
organisation except Europe in order to create a new public global corporation called
Visa Inc. As a part of this restructuring, Visa Europe will remain a membership
association with an exclusive, irrevocable and perpetual license in Europe. Visa/Plus
is one of the world's largest global ATM networks, offering cash access in local
currency in over 170 countries.
