Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Visa continues to monitor the COVID-19 impact globally. In November, year-over-year spend growth in some countries slowed due to increased COVID-related restrictions while other countries experienced boosts from elevated holiday shopping. Globally, year-over-year spend growth was generally similar to October levels.



In November, total U.S. payments volume rose 6% year-over-year, with the
difference in growth from October being relatively similar by state. Debit
continued its strong growth, up 19% in November despite a smaller contribution
from prepaid spending. Credit declined 5% for the month. Card not present
excluding travel increased 27% year-over-year in November while card present
declined 7%. Growth in spend by merchant category was generally lower than
October, with the exception of retail goods, primarily due to holiday shopping.

International market trends varied based on the level of COVID-related
restrictions and holiday timing in November. Across Europe, in countries such as
the UK, Italy and Germany, COVID-related restrictions helped domestic card not
present payments volume but overall payments volume growth slowed. In India and
Hong Kong, domestic spend benefited from Diwali-related and Singles Day sales,
respectively. In Australia, the UAE, Japan and Brazil domestic spend growth was
consistent with or better than October levels.

Cross-border volume excluding intra-Europe transactions improved 4 points from
October, posting a 33% year-over-year decline in November. This was led by
strong eCommerce spend, up 20% year-over-year in November, driven primarily by
holiday-related retail spend late in the month. Travel related cross-border
volume (card present and card not present) declined 65%. Cross-border volume
including intra-Europe transactions declined 19% year-over-year in November.

Global processed transactions increased 3% in November, 2 points lower than October, reflecting the decline in card present spending.



As a result of COVID, the holiday season this year is likely to look different
than prior years in terms of where, when and on what consumers spend. As such,
specific week-by-week comparisons may not reflect underlying trends and the full
impact is not expected to be clear until the end of the holiday season.

The table below shows the increase / (decrease) in certain key metrics against
the comparable 2019 periods for October, November and quarter-to-date (October 1
- November 30, 2020):
