Overview
Visa operates one of the world’s largest electronic payments networks, connecting banks, merchants, and cardholders. It does not lend or take credit risk; it earns a small fee on the enormous volume of transactions that flow across its rails.
This is a classic toll-road business with exceptional margins and high returns on capital, riding the long-term shift from cash to digital payments. The central debate is regulatory pressure on fees and the threat of new payment networks.
