"Visa announced a new platform designed to stimulate small businesses through a variety of tools and network opportunities on Thursday in advance of major sporting events this year. The program, Visa & Main, identifies and is built around helping address what Visa calls the most pressing challenges that entrepreneurs face: access to capital, reaching customers, and adopting modern business tools."
"That starts with a $100 million partnership with small business lender Lendistry, with Visa saying it would continue to provide "additional grants and financial support programs" as part of Visa & Main. Additionally, Visa & Main connects Visa's small business members with its corporate sponsors, identifying opportunities through major events like Super Bowl LX and this summer's FIFA World Cup."
Visa launched Visa & Main to stimulate small businesses by addressing access to capital, customer reach, and adoption of modern business tools. The program begins with a $100 million partnership with lender Lendistry and will provide additional grants and financial support programs. Visa & Main connects small business members with corporate sponsors and leverages major events such as Super Bowl LX and the FIFA World Cup to identify opportunities. The program deployed the "Square Stops Here" hop-on, hop-off bus tour during Super Bowl week in San Francisco to support and spotlight local businesses. The platform directs customers to small business members, hosts workshops for sustainability, and facilitates AI adoption, expense management, and fraud protection tools.
