Paper or plastic? Visa International hopes you'll choose the latter. Visa operates the world's largest consumer payment system (ahead of MasterCard and American Express) with about 1 billion credit and other payment cards in circulation. The company is owned by 21,000 banks, each of which issues and markets its own Visa products in competition with the others. They all participate in the VisaNet payment system, which provides authorization, transaction processing, and settlement services for purchases from 19 million merchants worldwide. In addition to credit cards, Visa also provides its customers with debit cards, Internet payment systems, value-storing smart cards, and traveler's checks.
