This is a role we have identified for building enabler partnerships to scale Visa Government Solutions across multi‑markets. Governments play an important and increasing role in the lives of citizens and businesses. Government payments are a significant part of this, be it government making payments to suppliers or social payments in form of disbursements or accepting tax payments from citizens. In some instances, Governments are also leading the way in payments innovation, such as Government digital transformation, Central Bank Digital Currencies, open data, and in dealing with the big challenges of our times (climate, sustainability). We are looking to partner with Governments around the world as they drive ambitious plans for economic growth, social impact and digitalization, and our ecosystem partners are an important part of how we can elevate payments innovation.
