Goals / remit
| Goals / remit of the organisation: |
Visa Europe is a membership association of more than 4,000 European banks that have collectively issued over 430 million Visa debit, credit and commercial cards in Europe. In the year ending September 2011, those cards were used to make purchases and cash withdrawals to the value of over €1.69 trillion. € 1 in every € 8 of consumer spending at point of sale in Europe is with a Visa card. Visa Europe’s member institutions come from 36 European countries. In October 2007, Visa Europe became independent of the new global Visa Inc., with an exclusive, irrevocable and perpetual licence in Europe. As a dedicated European payment system it is able to respond quickly to the specific market needs of European banks and their customers – cardholders and retailers, and to meet the European Commission’s objective to create a true internal market for payments. Visa Europe’s headquarters are in London and there are local offices in Athens, Brussels, Frankfurt, Paris, Istanbul, Lisbon, Madrid, Milan, Stockholm, and Warsaw.
