Visa runs the digital rails that move money between banks, merchants, and consumers worldwide—think of it as the toll road for card payments.

Visa's network effect and brand lock in banks and merchants, making it hard for competitors like Mastercard or PayPal to displace. However, fintechs and central bank digital currencies are eroding its dominance, so the moat is eroding.
