Visa Strengthens Its Position in the SME Market With Loop Global Visa Card
Read MoreHide Full Article
Visa Inc. (V - Free Report) has recently collaborated with Loop and EQ Bank to introduce an innovative offering for Canadian SMEs—the Loop Global Visa Card. As the first multi-currency corporate credit card in Canada, this new solution is set to transform the way businesses handle international transactions and financial operations.
The launch aligns with the growing demand for efficient global payment solutions, as Canada’s international trade reached $965.1 billion CAD in 2023. Designed to meet the needs of SMEs, the Loop Global Visa Card allows transactions and settlements in multiple currencies, including CAD, USD, EUR, and GBP. This capability helps businesses minimize foreign exchange costs and simplifies the management of cross-border transactions, empowering SMEs to engage in global trade more effectively.
For Visa, this initiative represents a calculated expansion into the rapidly growing SME segment amid increasing globalization. By integrating its payment network with Loop’s financial platform, Visa reinforces its position as a key enabler of seamless international transactions. The card’s advanced features, such as competitive FX rates, comprehensive expense management tools, and fraud protection, position Visa as a leading payment partner for SMEs operating globally. As businesses adopt this solution, Visa is likely to experience an uptick in transaction volumes, further bolstering its growth in this market.
This partnership aligns with Visa’s broader objectives, including its fiscal 2025 target of achieving high-single-digit to low-double-digit revenue growth on an adjusted constant-dollar basis.
