Multiple institutional investors have recently increased their holdings in shares of Visa Inc. during the first and fourth quarters of 2026, with some funds raising their stakes by over 100%. Separately, a Visa executive warned that businesses must collaborate with all stakeholders to prevent sophisticated fraud as social commerce grows. The executive noted that 69 per cent of consumers in the UAE purchased directly through social platforms, and 38 per cent of those who experienced a scam did so on social media.
