Almost all of us have a Visa card in our wallet, but what do we really know about Visa? 🔎 Here are some intriguing facts about this financial giant👉 🚀 Started in a Boardroom: Visa began as an experimental project by Bank of America in 1958, initially called BankAmericard. 💼 Economic Rescue: In 1974, Visa nearly collapsed. Dee Hock, the CEO at the time, saved the company, transforming it into an independent payment company and renaming it Visa. Hock developed a decentralized organizational model where each member bank was a shareholder, allowing Visa to operate as an open, global system, fostering international cooperation. 🌍 Global Leader: Today, Visa is ranked among the top 15 companies worldwide by market cap. This reflects the enormous public trust and its significant impact on the global economy. ⚡ Lightning-Fast Payments: Visa can process over 65,000 transactions per second! This showcases its incredible technological capacity. 🚀 Payments in Space: In 2020, Visa became the first to offer a credit card for use in space. Astronauts on the International Space Station used Visa cards to make online purchases. 🌐 Billions of Cards: To date, Visa has issued over 3.5 billion cards worldwide. If all these cards were laid end to end, they would circle the Earth more than 40 times! With all the innovation around us, do you think Visa is here to stay and continue leading? #Fintech #Visa #Payments #Technology #Innovation
