**Why this is important to Visa**

Engagement Solutions are an integral part of Visa’s business in Asia-Pacific and will expand significantly in terms of importance and financial impact in the coming years.

Against the backdrop of a payments market, which looks set to become more commoditized, it is more important than ever for Visa to develop, deliver and manage a set of capabilities that help generate customer loyalty for our clients to drive preference for payment by Visa.

A key element of delivering for our clients and their customers is providing solutions ‘where consumers are’ and in a way that they are motivated to use them - this means ensuring that the solutions we develop are digitally enabled and adopting a ‘digital first’ approach to execution.
