Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Visa continues to monitor the COVID-19 impact globally. FebruaryU.S. payments volume was 145% of 2019, up 5 points from January, with Credit up 7 points to 135% and Debit at 154%, flat with January. Card not present excluding travel was 171%, and card present was 123% of 2019, up 3 and 5 points, respectively, from January. Across most categories relative to 2019, February spending rebounded from January, most notably with travel, entertainment and fuel up more than 8 points each. International market payments volume in February versus the same period in 2019 increased several points from January levels in most countries, with notable increases inIndia ,Canada ,Brazil ,Italy andGermany . Some Asian markets declined from January relative to 2019 includingJapan ,Hong Kong andNew Zealand . Cross-border volume excluding intra-Europe transactions improved 8 points from January to 112% of 2019 in February, with card not present excluding travel volume up 4 points from January to 169%. Total card present and card not present travel cross-border volume excluding intra-Europe transactions increased 10 points from January to 81% of 2019. As expected, many countries reopened their borders and reduced or removed restrictions and we saw several corridors quickly recover from January. Total February cross-border volume increased to 122% of 2019.
Global processed transactions were 139% of 2019 in February, up one point from January.
Regarding the invasion ofUkraine , our number one priority is ensuring the safety and security of our colleagues and their families who are directly impacted.Visa is in the process of complying with all applicable global sanctions. As part of that compliance, we have suspended access toVisa for certain clients. It is difficult to reasonably estimate the full potential financial impact of this situation onVisa at this time. In fiscal full-year 2021, total net revenues fromRussia , including revenues driven by domestic as well as cross-border activities, were approximately 4% ofVisa Inc. net revenues and total net revenues fromUkraine were approximately 1% ofVisa Inc. net revenues.
