Head of Global Partnerships and Sales, at Visa Direct

Huge update/step forward in the acceleration of our business this week! We have officially brought the Currency Cloud, Visa B2B Connect, Yellow Pepper, and Visa Direct businesses together under a single "Visa Direct" umbrella. Why is this change so important and exciting?   We can now take a completely unified global money movement offering to market, at scale. This new offering, including global collections, multi-currency wallets/accounts, enterprise FX solutions, and global disbursements is unmatched in the market in terms of modular, end-to-end capabilities at a global scale.   Visa Direct already offered one of the world's largest digital payments networks with a reach of over 190 markets and 8.5B endpoints including cards, accounts, and digital wallets, but our new supercharged, integrated offering expands those capabilities massively.   With the integration of Currency Cloud, we can solve for slow, expensive, and opaque global receivables by allowing clients to collect, hold, and convert funds in virtual accounts seamlessly in over 30 currencies. Additionally, we can now offer real-time enterprise FX solutions, putting the power of an FX trading desk directly into the hands of clients of all sizes.   Finally with the integration of B2B Connect, we can offer financial institutions of all sizes that service business making payments across the world, access to a sophisticated, B2B specific payments network that has the ability to execute highly complex, large ticket, data rich transactions that can deliver in non-local currency.   Looking forward to diving deeper into what this means for our clients and partners next week Money20/20 Las Vegas 2024 - reach out to find out more or to connect! #visa #visadirect #crossborder #moneymovement #crossborderpayments #realtimepayments #fintech

Good to hear this - took some time but finally coming together. Leveraging VISA's brand and reach to go beyond just cards i.e. full end to end global money movement is a significant move and could be a game changer
