Visa has reported a net income of $2.3bn, or $1 per share, for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, an increase of 13% compared to $2.1bn, or $0.86 per share, reported a year ago.

Net operating revenue for the quarter ended 30 June 2018 was $5.2bn, an increase of 15% from $4.6bn in the same period last year.

On a constant dollar basis, payments volume growth for the third quarter was 11%, while cross-border volume growth was 10%.
