Visa's third-quarter profit beats expectations

Payment processing giant Visa said its fiscal third-quarter profit rose sharply from a year earlier, following its purchase of Visa Europe. The high-end premium credit card has become one of the most popular credit cards on the market, and has been particularly well-liked by younger customers. Visa does not issue credit or debit cards on its own and instead has partnerships with banks to issue cards that will run on Visa's payment network. Visa is also the network used on a recent popular entrant into the credit card industry: JPMorgan Chase's Sapphire Reserve Card. Visa has been benefiting from its $23 billion purchase of Visa Europe in June 2016, which brought all operators of the Visa payment network under one company.
