Why it matters
The expansion confirms Visa's strategy of increasing investment in security and value-added services. Visa's issuing, acceptance, and risk and security businesses collectively grew more than 20% in fiscal 2026. This move allows Visa to provide fraud-scoring services for non-Visa transactions.
