Visa has announced a new brand positioning aimed at adapting to the changing landscape of commerce. The digital payments provider introduced its “small steps” strategy at the Visa Payments Forum, with a focus on targeting the younger generation.
According to Frank Cooper, Visa’s chief marketing officer, Generation Z is reshaping the world of commerce by prioritizing “joy” in the process rather than just the outcomes. Cooper stated that this shift presents a unique opportunity for Visa to connect with young consumers, share their values, and support their journey through incremental improvements.
During the forum, Visa also revealed a range of new digital product innovations, including the introduction of Visa Flexible Credential, in response to evolving consumer preferences. Cooper emphasized the importance of collaborating with individuals who not only excel in their respective fields but also align with Visa’s values of supporting others.
Moving forward, Visa plans to expand its impact by focusing on digital infrastructure development in sub-Saharan Africa, promoting financial literacy, and supporting creators. Cooper highlighted the organization’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is achievable and working towards a more inclusive and empowering future.
