Visa Boosts Travel, Cross-Border Payments

Visa expands its reach into travel and cross-border payments through strategic partnerships and innovations. The company links Visa Direct with UnionPay International's MoneyExpress, enabling real-time transfers to over 95 percent of UnionPay debit cards in Chinese Mainland starting in the first half of 2026. This targets massive remittance flows from overseas workers and businesses, simplifying payouts and reducing delays in one of the world's busiest corridors.
