This new domain name helps Visa meet its business objectives, while at the same time creating a safe and trusted online environment for consumers, businesses, and organizations alike.
You must have a valid Visa account in order to register for .visa domain names.
Visa reserves the right to deny you access to .visa registration, renewal, or transfer of your domain name if it is determined that you are not eligible under Visa's corporate sponsorship guidelines or applicable laws.
The .visa top-level domain is intended for use by financial institutions that are "accepting or facilitating Visa card payments" as well as "travel companies associated with travel authorizations issued by banks around the world."
It also may be used by businesses whose products or services are not directly related to payment acceptance but "are associated with travel, tourism, hospitality, and international trade."
To maintain stability within the .visa namespace, registration of .visa domain names are reserved for members of the financial industry including merchants, issuers, acquirers, processors, and associations directly involved in electronic payments.
Other entities will need permission from these parties to get a .visa domain name. These restrictions help create an active marketplace where domain names are always available for purchase by authorized entities worldwide.
