Visa (NYSE: V), a global leader in digital payments, today announced a significant commitment to the city of San Francisco by pledging to host its annual Visa Payments Forum (VPF) event at the iconic Moscone Center over the next five years. This reflects Visa’s long-standing commitment to the San Francisco Bay Area, the company’s home for nearly 70 years.
“The future of payments is here in San Francisco, a city that has always been at the heart of Visa’s story,” said Oliver Jenkyn, Group President, Global Markets at Visa. “By bringing Visa Payments Forum home, we are investing in the local community, supporting economic growth, and showcasing San Francisco’s role as a global hub for innovation. We are proud to deepen our commitment to this remarkable city.”
Visa Payments Forum, which will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2026, brings together thousands of payments industry leaders from around the world to explore the future of commerce. Visa will transform Moscone Center into an immersive experience which will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, and an interactive marketplace. Visa will also announce its latest innovations at Visa’s annual Product Drop during the Visa Payments Forum.
“My job as mayor is to create the conditions for San Francisco’s comeback—that means safe and clean streets that welcome visitors to our city. And thanks to that work, our city has real momentum: Companies are bringing workers back to the office, small businesses are opening across our city, and you can feel the energy downtown,” said Mayor Daniel Lurie. “Visa's commitment to bring their conference to the Moscone Center underscores San Francisco's status as a world-class destination for business and innovation. It's a new day in San Francisco, and we're thrilled to welcome the Visa Payments Forum back to our city.”
