Your Card, Your Security. Tap: A Safer Way to Verify Identity — Visa, Keyno, and Fidelity Bank (Bahamas) Lead the Transformation

Mon, 11 May 2026 10:48:00 -0400

Visa and Keyno reimagine identity verification for the digital era, launching the next generation of Tap use cases — Tap to Confirm and Tap to Activate — first with Fidelity Bank (Bahamas) Limited

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Visa (NYSE: V) today announced a major step forward in how consumers verify their identity in the digital era, with the first-ever deployment of its Tap to Confirm and Tap to Activate technology for issuing banks. Launched in collaboration with fintech partner Keyno and Fidelity Bank (Bahamas) Limited, this innovation represents a paradigm shift in how consumers prove who they are to their financial institutions — turning the physical Visa card into a trusted identity credential that works with a simple tap inside the banking app they already use.

As commerce becomes increasingly digital, identity verification has emerged as one of the defining challenges of modern banking and payments. Instead of relying on one-time passcodes, call center verification, or other complex authentication processes, cardholders can now confirm their identity or activate a new card simply by tapping their Visa card to their mobile device — providing EMV-level security while delivering a frictionless user experience.

Visa Powers the Next Era of Identity Verification

The breakthrough technology showcases Visa's innovation leadership by leveraging advanced EMV cryptography and Visa's proprietary Chip Authenticate service. The solution integrates Visa's robust Transaction Exchange (VTEX) API for real-time card data authentication directly through VisaNet — the world's most advanced payment processing network, handling over 150 billion transactions annually.

"Identity verification has become one of the defining challenges of digital commerce — and one of the biggest points of friction for consumers and issuers alike. With tap authentication, Visa is transforming the card in your wallet into a secure, intuitive identity credential, delivering an experience that is easier for consumers and more secure for issuers. This is what Visa's payments expertise and global infrastructure make possible,” said, Mike Romero, Head of Digital Solutions, Visa Latin America and the Caribbean.

Enabling Issuers and Transforming Consumer Experience

Partnering with Keyno - whose technology provides secure digital card solutions - and launching first with Fidelity, Visa enhances issuers’ ability to:

Accelerate digital onboarding and activation with instant card activation
Reduce bank call center costs by turning users to in-app experiences
Reduce fraud significantly with best-in-class EMV cryptogram validation that surpasses SMS-based authentication
Offer customers faster, tap-based authentication for high-risk activity, like changes to passwords, mailing addresses. high value money transfers, or account limits
Eliminate friction while strengthening security - no more wait times for call centers or delayed SMS codes

“Identity is the key to safe commerce. Now, your Visa card is the key to secure online identity verification. Keyno and Visa are leading the way—making digital banking safer, simpler, and more trusted with just a tap,” said, Robert J Steinman, CEO Keyno.

Following the successful Fidelity pilot, Visa is positioning Tap to Confirm as a premium security and authentication solution with global expansion planned throughout the year.

FAQ

Q: What is Tap to Confirm?

Tap to Confirm lets cardholders verify possession of their card for actions like high-value transfers or account changes by simply tapping their Visa card on their own mobile device using the issuer's banking app, replacing OTP with secure EMV authentication.

Q: What is Tap to Activate?

Tap to Activate allows cardholders to activate a new Visa card instantly and securely by tapping the card on their mobile phone within the issuer's app, eliminating the need to call support or enter activation codes.

Q: Who are the partners in this pilot?

Visa has partnered with Keyno (keyno.io), a provider of secure digital card solutions, and Fidelity (www.fidelitygroup.com) for the first commercial rollout of these breakthrough tap features.

Q: How does this improve security?

The solutions use EMV chip cryptogram technology and Visa's Chip Authenticate service for each tap, creating highly secure, fraud-resistant authentication that significantly exceeds the security of other authentication methods.

Q: What are the benefits for cardholders?

Faster, frictionless onboarding and card activation
Elimination of passwords, SMS delays, and phone calls
EMV-grade security for all authentication actions
Intuitive tap gesture requiring no learning curve

Q: When will these features be available?

The initial rollout with Fidelity is now live, with plans for expansion throughout 2026.

Q: Do I need a special app?

For this pilot, these features will be available within Fidelity's FIDSECURE mobile app powered by Keyno's technology and Visa's Tap to Confirm authentication infrastructure.

Q: What makes this different from other authentication methods?

Unlike OTP or app-based authentication, Visa's Tap technology uses the physical card's EMV chip as the authentication factor, providing stronger security while simplifying the user experience.

Visa Announces Global Expansion of Agentic Ready Program

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Visa’s Agentic Ready program is now available in Asia Pacific and Latin America
Designed to support the payments ecosystem as it prepares for a new era of agentic commerce

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) today announced the expansion of its global Agentic Ready program to clients in Asia Pacific and Latin America. First launched with banks and issuing partners across Europe, including the UK, Agentic Ready is designed to support the payments ecosystem as it prepares for the emergence of agent-led commerce.

As the next generation of commerce takes shape, AI agents are moving beyond answering questions to taking action—searching, deciding, and ultimately paying on behalf of consumers and businesses. This shift has meaningful implications for the global payments ecosystem, from how transactions are authorized to how trust, security, and control are maintained at scale.

What Visa Agentic Ready Provides

Visa Agentic Ready is a global program designed to help issuing banks and payment partners prepare for AI agent‑initiated commerce. The program enables participants to:

Test agent‑initiated payments in controlled, real‑world environments using live cards and real merchants
Validate core payment flows, including card enrollment, tokenization, authentication, and transaction authorization
Assess trust, security, and control mechanisms as AI agents take action on behalf of consumers and businesses
Identify operational and readiness gaps before agent‑led transactions scale broadly
Collaborate with Visa and selected merchants to understand how agent‑initiated transactions behave in practice
Prepare for global deployment as agent‑driven commerce expands across markets.

Agentic Ready builds on Visa Intelligent Commerce, Visa’s portfolio of initiatives enabling secure, AI‑driven commerce experiences at scale. In the United States, Visa has already rolled out Visa Intelligent Commerce across a broad set of agents and partners, with live transactions taking place today.

“Across markets, we’re seeing growing interest in how AI agents could reshape commerce,” said Rubail Birwadker, SVP, Growth Products & Partnerships, Visa. “Visa Agentic Ready provides banks and issuing partners with a structured path to testing agent-initiated payments, learning what works, and ensuring global readiness as these experiences reach scale.”

Already live with more than 20 partners in the United Kingdom and Europe, Agentic Ready will quickly roll out to 85+ partners across Asia Pacific and Latin America, and will continue to roll out to additional markets this year.

Visa Accelerates Stablecoin Momentum: Adding Five Blockchains for Settlement

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 07:00:00 -0400

Stablecoin settlement pilot sees record growth 50% quarter over quarter, reaching $7B run rate.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Today, Visa (NYSE: V) announced that it is adding five blockchains to its global stablecoin settlement pilot, expanding how issuers and acquirers can settle with the network. As stablecoins move into mainstream payment flows, Visa’s stablecoin settlement pilot now supports nine blockchains and has reached a $7 billion annualized stablecoin settlement run rate, up 50% since last quarter.

Visa is adding support for five additional blockchains, further expanding its multi-chain settlement capabilities.

“Our partners are building in a multi-chain world, and they expect their options to reflect that reality,” said Rubail Birwadker, Global Head of Growth Products and Strategic Partnerships, Visa. “Expanding our stablecoin settlement pilot program to more blockchains means our partners can choose the networks that best fit their needs, while relying on Visa to provide a common settlement layer across all of them.”

Newly supported blockchains

Visa is adding support for five additional blockchains, further expanding its multi-chain settlement capabilities:

Arc: An open Layer-1 blockchain created by Circle, purpose-built to unite programmable money and onchain innovation with real-world economic activity.
Base: A high-performance blockchain enabling fast, low-cost settlement for stablecoins, onchain assets and agentic commerce. Powered by Coinbase.
Canton: Built with configurable privacy for regulated capital markets, enabling compliant settlement for institutional use cases.
Polygon: A leading blockchain payments solution that enables fast, low-cost transactions, delivering seamless, high-throughput infrastructure for global payments and digital commerce.
Tempo: Focused on faster, private, and more efficient movement of stablecoin liquidity and settlement flows.

With these additions, Visa now supports nine blockchains across its global stablecoin settlement pilot program, giving partners more choice while building on existing support for Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, and Stellar.

From experimentation to multi-chain reality

Over the past year, stablecoins have evolved from a promising innovation to a practical way to move money globally, and Visa’s settlement pilots are helping partners streamline operations.

This builds on years of live pilots and regional rollouts across LAC, Europe, AP and CEMEA, as well as the recent expansion of USDC settlement to U.S. banks and 130+ stablecoin-linked card programs in more than 50 countries. The move to nine supported blockchains mirrors a broader trend: liquidity and activity now span a diverse, multi-chain ecosystem, and settlement infrastructure is evolving to match to provide more choice.

Visa is building toward a future where interoperability is essential. Supporting multiple blockchains gives partners more choice in how they access liquidity across ecosystems and adapt as the landscape changes, while Visa eases some of the underlying complexity so institutions can use stablecoins through a trusted, global network.

Continued momentum

The growth to a $7B run rate underscores increasing confidence in blockchain infrastructure from financial institutions, fintechs, and payment providers. Stablecoin settlement over blockchain infrastructure is becoming a viable complement to traditional settlement rails.

As adoption continues, Visa remains focused on bridging traditional finance and blockchain-based systems - bringing the same standards of reliability, security, and scale to both.

Partner perspectives

“Arc is designed to provide the performance, predictability, and reliable access to liquidity needed to support real-time settlement at a global scale. Our work with Visa reflects growing demand for stablecoins like USDC and blockchain infrastructure that can settle today’s payment flows instantly while enabling the next era of programmable commerce and agent-driven economic activity.” Nikhil Chandhok, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Circle.

“Our goal with Base has always been to make onchain the new standard. Visa’s expansion is a pivotal step in making stablecoin payments a daily reality for billions of people, enabling a faster, cheaper, and more useful financial system for everyone,” said Jesse Pollak, Founder of Base.

“Canton was designed to meet demanding requirements of regulated institutions, and Visa’s stablecoin settlement platform provides a bridge that lets them explore onchain settlement while staying aligned with their compliance requirements,” said Eric Saraniecki, Head of Network Strategy at Digital Asset, co-founder of the Canton Network.

“Visa adding Polygon signals that stablecoins are moving into real world payments at scale. By combining Visa’s global reach with Polygon’s fast, low-cost infrastructure, we are making stablecoin settlement more practical, reliable, and accessible for partners around the world,” said Marc Boiron, CEO, Polygon Labs.

“Tempo is focused on real-time stablecoin settlement, and Visa’s participation as both a validator and settlement partner helps bring always-on, programmable payments closer to the mainstream,” said Ani Narayan, GTM, Tempo.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Visa (NYSE:V), a global leader in digital payments, today announced it has officially launched its validator node on the Tempo network, marking a key milestone in Visa’s continued advancement of blockchain infrastructure leadership and its role in shaping stablecoin payments. The launch underscores Visa’s commitment to running critical blockchain operations in-house and strengthening the foundations of onchain payment innovation.

Tempo, the next generation blockchain built for agentic commerce and real-time payments, has expanded its validator ecosystem to include leading financial and commerce partners. Visa, Stripe, and Zodia Custody by Standard Chartered will serve as the first external validators to join the Tempo network, with additional participants to be announced by Tempo.

“We’ve spent years building our expertise in blockchain, and now we’re expanding that work by running critical blockchain infrastructure ourselves,” said Cuy Sheffield, Head of Crypto, Visa. “By operating a validator on Tempo, we’re extending Visa’s commitment to reliability, security, and trust into blockchain networks – supporting the development of stablecoin payment systems that meet the high operating standards our clients and partners expect.”

Visa’s validator node has been configured and managed in-house, following six months of joint work with Tempo’s engineering team to directly integrate Visa’s secure infrastructure to the Tempo network. This approach places Visa at the core of transaction validation and supports the overall security of the network. By operating as an anchor validator during this initial phase, Visa is helping ensure Tempo operates with the reliability, resilience, and performance required for emerging payment use cases.

"Visa processes billions of transactions across nearly every country in the world. That kind of operational rigor is exactly what we look for in validators on Tempo, built for payments at enterprise scale,” said Nischay Upadhyayula, GTM, Tempo. “They've been a design partner since day one, and joining as a validator is a natural extension of that work."

The validator launch aligns with Visa’s ongoing roadmap for blockchain-driven payment innovation and reflects Visa’s commitment to shaping the future of stablecoin payments by working alongside partners to enhance resilience, interoperability, and security across the ecosystem.

Visa Commences Exchange Offer for Class B-1 and Class B-2 Common Stock

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 09:14:00 -0400

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Visa (NYSE: V) today commenced an Exchange Offer pursuant to which its Class B-1 and Class B-2 common stock may be exchanged for a combination of Visa’s Class B-3 common stock, Visa’s Class C common stock, which will be freely tradeable following temporary transfer restrictions, and, where applicable, cash consideration in lieu of fractional shares. This is the second Exchange Offer in a previously announced program that enables Visa to permit the release of transfer restrictions on portions of Visa’s Class B common stock.

The Exchange Offer will expire on May 8, 2026, at one minute after 11:59 p.m. New York City time unless extended or earlier terminated by Visa (the “Expiration Date”). Settlement of the shares will be made promptly following the Expiration Date.

Key Elements of the Exchange Offer

In exchange for each share of Class B-1 common stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) and accepted by Visa, a participating Class B-1 stockholder will receive:

one quarter of a newly issued share of Class B-3 common stock that will be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and conversion that currently apply to Class B-1 common stock;
newly issued shares of Class C common stock in an amount equivalent to one half of a share of Class B-1 common stock and one quarter of a share of Class B-2 common stock, with such equivalence based on the respective amounts of Class A common stock into which Class B-1, Class B-2 and Class C common stock would be convertible as of the Expiration Date; and
any applicable cash consideration in lieu of fractional shares.

In exchange for each share of Class B-2 common stock validly tendered in the Class B-2 Exchange (and not withdrawn) and accepted by Visa, a participating Class B-2 stockholder will receive:

one half of a newly issued share of Class B-3 common stock that will be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and conversion that currently apply to Class B-2 common stock;
newly issued shares of Class C common stock in an amount equivalent to one half of a share of Class B-2 common stock, with such equivalence based on the respective amounts of Class A common stock into which Class B-2 and Class C common stock would be convertible as of the Expiration Date; and
any applicable cash consideration in lieu of fractional shares.

Based on current conversion rates, each share of Class B‑1 common stock accepted for exchange will be exchanged for approximately 0.2877 shares of Class C common stock, and each share of Class B‑2 common stock accepted for exchange will be exchanged for approximately 0.1884 shares of Class C common stock.

As a condition to participating in the Exchange Offer, each eligible Class B stockholder, together with any of its parent guarantors, must enter into a makewhole agreement. Under this agreement, the stockholder and its parent guarantors will agree to reimburse Visa in cash for certain future obligations related to U.S. covered litigation that, but for the stockholder’s participation in the Exchange Offer, would have otherwise been borne by such holder through its ownership of Class B common stock tendered in the Exchange Offer.

Visa’s Class B-1 and B-2 stockholders are not obligated to participate in the Exchange Offer, and no action is required by Class B-1 or B-2 stockholders who do not elect to participate.

The Exchange Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus to be filed with the SEC today.

About Visa

Additional Information and Where to Find It

The Exchange Offer is being made solely by the Prospectus. The Prospectus will contain important information about the Exchange Offer, Visa and related matters, and Visa will cause the Prospectus to be delivered to Class B-1 and Class B-2 stockholders. CLASS B-1 AND CLASS B-2 STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROSPECTUS, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC, WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE AND BEFORE MAKING ANY INVESTMENT DECISION, BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

Visa has engaged Equiniti Trust Company, LLC and Sodali & Co. to act respectively as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) and information agent (the “Information Agent”) for the Exchange Offer. To obtain copies of the Prospectus, the Letter of Transmittal and other related documents, or for questions about the terms of the Exchange Offer or how to participate, you may contact the Information Agent at (800) 662-5200 (for stockholders) or (203) 658-9400 (for banks and brokers).

None of Visa, its directors, officers and employees, the Exchange Agent or the Information Agent, any of Visa’s financial advisors nor any of their respective directors or officers makes any recommendation as to whether Class B-1 or Class B-2 stockholders should participate in the Exchange Offer.

Visa will also file with the SEC a Schedule TO, which will contain important information about the Exchange Offer.

Class B-1 and Class B-2 stockholders may obtain copies of the Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Schedule TO, the Letter of Transmittal and other related documents, and any other information that Visa files electronically with the SEC free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The Class B-1 and Class B-2 common stock is held predominantly by banks, bank holding companies, credit unions and other financial institutions or affiliates of financial institutions that may be subject to comprehensive federal or state regulation and regulatory supervision. Visa has not assessed, and can provide no assurance as to, the suitability of a Class B-1 or Class B-2 stockholder’s participation in the Exchange Offer, including the requirement to enter into and perform under a makewhole agreement, under the various regulatory regimes that may apply to any particular Class B-1 or Class B-2 stockholder or its parent guarantors. In addition, Visa understands that some current or former Class B-1 or Class B-2 stockholders have entered into swap or other derivative contracts or transactions with other current or former Class B-1 or Class B-2 stockholders concerning the Class B-1 or Class B-2 common stock. Visa is not a party to these contracts or transactions, and Visa cannot and will not advise on the effects the Exchange Offer, including obligations under a makewhole agreement, may have on any Class B-1 or Class B-2 stockholder’s rights or obligations under any such swap or other derivative contract or transaction. Each Class B-1 or Class B-2 stockholder considering whether to participate in the Exchange Offer is therefore urged to consult with its own legal and regulatory advisors.

Visa Opens the Door to AI-Driven Shopping for Businesses Worldwide

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 12:00:00 -0400

Part of the Visa Intelligent Commerce portfolio, Intelligent Commerce Connect will enable more ways for agents to pay and merchants to accept agentic transactions in a single integration
Currently in pilot with select partners including Aldar, AWS, Diddo, Highnote, Mesh, Payabli, Sumvin, and rolling out to more partners this year

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) today unveiled Intelligent Commerce Connect, a new solution that makes it easier for businesses to connect to and participate in AI-powered commerce. Intelligent Commerce Connect acts as a network, protocol, and token vault-agnostic ‘on ramp’ to agentic commerce for agent builders, merchants, and enablers.

As consumers increasingly rely on AI agents to make purchases, businesses – whether they are building agents, selling to them, or processing transactions – need a simple way to get started. Intelligent Commerce Connect, part of the Visa Intelligent Commerce portfolio, meets that need.

Through a single integration via the Visa Acceptance Platform, Intelligent Commerce Connect enables secure payment initiation, tokenization, spend controls, and authentication. The solution integrates both Visa Intelligent Commerce APIs, which are used to process agent purchases using Visa cards, and other networks’ APIs, allowing agents to pay with both Visa and non-Visa cards*. This provides more choice in how agents can pay, making it easier for the entire ecosystem to adopt agentic payments experiences.

“From small businesses to the world’s biggest retailers, Visa powers how people pay every day, millions of times over,” said Andrew Torre, President of Value-Added Services at Visa. “Intelligent Commerce Connect brings that same, trusted payment acceptance infrastructure into the emerging world of AI-driven commerce, so businesses can let AI agents buy on behalf of consumers, securely and at scale.”

Key benefits of Intelligent Commerce Connect:

Works with major token vault providers: Agent platforms can plug into existing credential infrastructure and avoid being locked into a single token vault/vendor.
Seamless acceptance of agent-initiated payments: Enables merchants to accept payments initiated via major agent protocols including: Trusted Agent Protocol, Machine Payments Protocol (MPP), Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP), and Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP).
Makes merchant catalogs discoverable on AI platforms: Helps merchants make their product inventories and product details (e.g., descriptions, specifications, prices, etc.) accessible so consumers can discover, select, and check out within the AI platform experience.
Supports enablers processing agentic transactions on merchants’ behalf: Visa can handle orchestration and PCI compliance for enablers supporting merchant transactions.
One integration via Visa Acceptance Platform: Available through a single trusted integration on the Visa Acceptance Platform, a modular suite of payments tools that power millions of places where consumers pay – like online or in-app checkouts and marketplaces.
