Visa Worldwide Pte. Limited
Visa continues to drive economic growth and improve lives through the global electronic payments network that we run and the products we offer. We also believe in using the power and assets of Visa to strengthen our local communities and be a global citizen. For over 20 years, Visa has been a private sector leader in developing innovative and free financial literacy programmes that help people effectively learn the fundamentals of personal finance, including budgeting, saving, responsible spending and using credit wisely. In Malaysia, we have been introducing meaningful financial literacy initiatives with our key partners for several years. We continue to partner with Credit Counselling and Debt Management agency, AKPK to reach out to young Malaysians using financial education board games, mobile apps and websites to teach them the important concepts of money management.
In addition to creating financial literacy programmes, Visa has also been encouraging employees to donate to their charities of choice since 2008 by providing a programme to match their philanthropic generosity. In 2017, employee volunteers from 79 Visa offices contributed 34,000 hours to nearly 350 non profit organisations at more than 600 separate events.
