Total processed transactions in the July-September 2022 quarter were $50.9bn, a 12% rise from the corresponding quarter of 2021, while payments volume grew 10%.

Cross-border volume excluding transactions within Europe jumped 49% and total cross-border volume on a constant-dollar basis surged 36% on a constant dollar basis.

Net income for the full 2022 financial year surged 21% to $15bn, while revenues jumped 22% to $29.3bn.

Higher personnel and general and administrative expenses led to a 20% rise in GAAP operating expenses to $2.7bn.

Besides, Visa’s board sanctioned a new $12bn share repurchase programme, and raised the quarterly dividend by 20% to 45 cents a share.

Visa chairman and CEO Alfred F. Kelly, Jr. said: “In Visa’s fiscal fourth quarter, we saw a continuation of many of the spending trends present throughout 2022: strength in consumer payments, resilience in eCommerce and ongoing recovery in cross-border travel. These trends contributed to robust full-year 2022 results, with net revenues, net income and EPS all up more than 20% year-over-year, despite broader macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical turmoil.

As we look ahead, while some short-term uncertainty exists, we remain confident in Visa’s long-term growth trajectory across consumer payments, new flows and value added services.”
