Newest Review: ... the actual financial transactions that occur with their debit and credit cards. Visa is merely a branding on a card that is issued to various banks and financial companies that wish to use credit and debit cards for their customers transactions. So they are basically the facilitator that allows people to make the purchases they make. The reason why so many banks and people use Visa branded cards is because they have done a great job at getting merchants and banks to trust that if Visa has entered into a contract with a bank that issues their card, then that transaction will be fully legitimate.

I own about 7 credit cards and 5 of those 7 are Visa cards. I didn't plan on it being that way, but it is the fact that Visa is so widely distributed and accepted in the world that more times than not someone will have a Visa for their credit card.
