Financial Inclusion
Empower Ahead
Powering financial inclusion
Greater financial knowledge and skills help to open doors for individuals, entrepreneurs and communities around the world. At Visa, we understand the power of financial inclusion in creating opportunities. Financial inclusion is at the heart of what we do – it’s aligned with our purpose of uplifting everyone, everywhere by being the best way to pay and be paid. We're empowering people from all walks of life with the financial resources and skills they need to help them take their next step.
We are committed to helping our communities build digital and money management skills, empowering small businesses, enabling people to carve out entrepreneurial paths, and providing tools for individuals to build skills for sustainable living and wellbeing. From supporting younger generations, women, entrepreneurs and displaced people, we’re on a mission to create positive social and lasting change that benefit people and do more for our planet.
