Visa Innovation and Digital Partnerships SVP and global head Vanessa Colella said: “We want to harness the scale and reach of our network to help this community thrive.
“With the Visa Ready Creator Commerce programme, we’re building a connective layer – bringing platforms and technology enablers together to deliver modern financial tools for the creator economy.”
