Visa

The payment giants have added emerging forms of artificial intelligence to identify cybercrime, fraud and scams, countering crooks who are also embracing the innovation.

International remittances are a key use case for Visa's stablecoin strategy, CEO Ryan McInerney said during its fiscal Q3 earnings call with investors. They also pair nicely with Visa Direct, the company's instant payment scheme, he said.

With the big banks honing in on Amex's high-end card turf, Steve Squeri said his company's past success will drive the future.

A U.K. judicial body says the card networks have breached competition laws, while Belgian regulators are examining Wordline for potential anti-money-laundering violations.

The card network's moves include supporting coins from Fiserv, PayPal and others; and offering services to what's expected to be a fast-growing industry.

Visa, Mastercard, PayPal are among the firms moving the cryptocurrency option closer to the point of sale.

The next generation of artificial intelligence can be a digitized always-on personal shopper, researcher and financial assistant, taking even the buzz of ChatGPT to another level. It's early in the game, but developers are looking for ways to gain an edge.

AI agents have the power to automate a number of once-manual tasks: They can conduct background research, generate content, write code and analyze data. In their latest evolution, driven by Visa, Mastercard and other fintechs, payments are now on the menu of services.

The card processor came up short on expected profits but hit analysts' estimates on revenue in the second quarter of its fiscal 2025. CEO Ryan McInerney said growth in payments volume, cross-border volume and processed transactions were strong even in the face of shaky economic conditions.

Supply-chain woes, inflation and skittish travelers are just a few of the tariff-driven factors pressuring PayPal, Visa and Mastercard during upcoming earnings calls.
