VISA Europe
Visa Europe is fully owned and controlled by the organization’s 4,600 European member banks. As a pan-European alliance, Visa Europe is able to swiftly adapt to changing local markets and the special needs of European banks and their customers – including retailers, service providers and consumers. A co-owner of Visa International, Visa Europe plays a key role in developing the Visa brand and ensures that its payment systems are internationally compatible. More than 348 million Visa debit, credit and company cards are in circulation in Europe, making Visa one of the leading payment brands which is accepted at approximately 24 million acceptance points – including more than a million cash dispensers – around the globe.
Easier payment with Visa payWave
Visa deploys innovative technologies to make credit card use even more convenient for customers. Contactless payment via Visa payWave saves the bother of looking for cash and is ideal for small transactions. The procedure takes less than a second and significantly streamlines the checkout process. As Visa Europe aims to establish contactless payment as a standard procedure, this forward-looking technology is bound to play an increasing role.
Responding to needs
As a Gold Partner of the METRO GROUP Future Store Initiative, Visa Europe maintains an ongoing dialog with other partners of the alliance. This gives the payment specialist profound insight into the demands placed on today’s payment systems – knowledge Visa can leverage as it continues to develop new solutions. The company has always placed great value on the feedback of its customers in order to best adapt its products to their needs.
