Clark said: “Atlanta represents an epicentre of financial technology expertise, resilient entrepreneurs, diverse perspectives and a vibrant community culture.

We are committed to investing in and supporting the robust talent pool in Atlanta with rewarding professional development and growth opportunities.”

Visa said that its expansion in Atlanta builds on the company’s commitments to serve its communities.

The firm previously rolled out initiatives such as She’s Next, Empowered by Visa and Visa’s online small business hub in Atlanta.

It will now collaborate with suppliers of diverse backgrounds to design, build and provide ongoing services for the Atlanta office.

In addition, Visa will support community organisations in Atlanta in line with its strategy to promote inclusive, equitable and sustainable growth and commitments to empowering small and micro businesses.
