Visa to Cut 2,600 Jobs to Enhance Efficiency and Focus on Growth Areas
Visa plans to cut about 2,600 jobs, roughly 7% of its workforce, mainly affecting technology and product teams. CEO Ryan McInerney cited the need to improve efficiency and focus on higher-growth areas like consumer payments and cross-border transactions. The layoffs come amid a challenging payments industry and ahead of Visa's quarterly earnings report. Artificial intelligence has contributed to operational changes, but was not the sole reason for the reductions. Visa aims to reinvest in strategic growth opportunities amid broader industry trends of job cuts.
