Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do
We believe in equity
It’s not only about equality, it’s about equity. We act on the diverse needs of our workforce, partners, communities and consumers we serve.
Everyone accepted, everywhere
With over 9,000 members across the globe, our employee resource groups breathe life into Visa’s culture and support a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace.

Equal pay for equal work

Our workforce by the numbers
Visa has always been a diverse workplace, but there’s constant room for improvement. Here’s where we’re at today, both globally and in our largest market, the U.S.
