With the partnership, Visa’s clients and partners will be able to use Currencycloud’s cloud-based payments platform. Furthermore, this will offer customers services such as:
- multi-currency wallets,
- real-time notifications on foreign exchange transactions
In addition, Visa customers will be able to better manage their travel plans with enhanced visibility of their finances.
CEO, Europe at Visa, Charlotte Hogg, commented: “Today, 1 in 5 payments is a cross-border transaction, whether that’s from a consumer travelling internationally or buying from an international seller online”
“Our goal is to continue to help our clients meet this increasing demand for slick, simple and more convenient cross-border payments and make it easier for Visa cardholders to manage their money when travelling. Our partnership with Currencycloud will empower our clients to do just that by offering an innovative, competitive, digital-first solution that ultimately give consumers and cardholders more control over digital payments – at home and abroad.”
