Everyone accepted, everywhere

A diverse and inclusive workplace where you belong.

Everyone belongs

You want a workplace where you can be yourself. We want you to bring your whole self to work every day. Together, we’re an inclusive culture that celebrates our uniqueness.

We will remain focused on ensuring that Visa is a diverse and inclusive environment where different perspectives are valued, and all of our employees feel comfortable coming to work every day to do their best.

– Alfred F. Kelly, Jr., CEO

Real inclusion invites everyone to feel comfortable and confident that they belong at a workplace—and that won’t happen unless individuals can proudly display their differences. Why? Because then they can fully contribute to the mission of the organization. After all, diverse perspectives are wasted if they are never voiced or heard.

– Jolen Anderson, Chief Diversity Officer

Everyone has a story

Universal acceptance for everyone, everywhere is at the heart of our company. We promote diversity of thought, culture and background that connects the entire Visa family.
