McInerney segmented the answer explicitly: DPS-Pismo integration targets small, midsized banks and fintechs, while large issuers keep separate customized platforms.

Ryan connected both programs to Visa's role in creating richer transaction data payloads that improve authorization, dispute resolution, and fraud detection across the ecosystem.

McInerney pointed back to Investor Day growth framework and strategies for VAS and CMS, confirming Visa is delivering those strategies and the results laid out in the framework. Suh explained RPO includes value in kind, an important incentive lever clients use to drive value for themselves, good for client engagement and continues to drive value to Visa in VAS and other parts of the business. Not the majority driver of VAS but an important lever clients continue to take advantage of.

McInerney said Visa Direct crossed 10 billion transactions on rolling 12-month basis, scaling meaningfully as the largest at-scale money movement platform by end points/transactions/volumes/partners. Investments over time help sales teams sell into new use cases. Banks embedding Visa Direct as cross-border money movement platform is a major focus, bank users often leave bank app for fintech remittance apps, and banks view this as lost opportunity. On pricing, Visa prices to value with different competitive dynamics in every vertical/use case/country, different competitors in CEMEA vs LatAm vs Europe. Cents-per-transaction yield doesn't reflect all pricing components. Yields similar to global debit business.

Suh confirmed international transaction revenue grew 10% in line with nominal volume growth but below 13% constant currency cross-border growth due to FX, higher volatility, client mix and hedging. On pricing, reiterated start of year commentary that full-year pricing contribution would be similar to prior year but timing more back-end loaded. Still expectation unchanged, pricing will benefit second half more than first half of this year.

Suh confirmed the 60/40 travel/e-commerce mix with e-commerce slightly better over recent quarters and convergence this quarter. Visa Direct cross-border is a small portion of total Visa Direct transactions (34% growth) but growing much faster than the overall. Yields are accretive. McInerney added that cross-border Visa Direct is still a very small portion of overall cross-border transactions and payment volume in the big scheme of things despite the great success.

Ryan praised DPS and CyberSource progress but explicitly declined to break out growth rates or volumes.

Amrita laid out SFS deposit-taking and in-house acquiring as multiyear efforts, with June marking the first Square acquiring transactions processed through SFS.

Amrita laid out multiple growth vectors: Borrow higher limits and Cash App Green integration, Afterpay Post-Purchase growing faster than Borrow at similar stage, Pre-Purchase scaling, and Cash App Score.

Owen described three-layer monetization: showing credit scores to customers to build trust and drive engagement, licensing credit score data to third-party lenders (strong demand since Investor Day), and eventually building UI within Cash App to connect customers with third-party credit offerings. Positioned as high-margin GP stream that only exists because of Borrow and lending infrastructure.

Nick noted field sales reps scaled from near zero to over 100 with marginal ROI remaining strong. 5-6 quarter paybacks sustained. 70% of NVA still from self-onboard, with sales complementing rather than displacing organic growth.

Amrita noted post-purchase BNPL outpacing Borrow's early trajectory in attach rates and loss rates. Expects to scale Afterpay pre-purchase and Cash App Pay into 2026 along with compounding go-to-market investments.

Jack positioned Afterpay as evolution of credit for younger generation focused on cash flow management. Amrita described two integrations: retroactive split (Feb) with strong attach rates and Cash App Afterpay (Mar) connecting ecosystems.

Amrita detailed Q4 GPV up 10% with U.S. at 6.9%. Expects high single-digit GPV in Q1 building to low double digits by year-end, driven by same-store growth, better retention, and stronger acquisition.

Takis argued Fiserv's Finxact-plus-broader-stack position (digital banking, payments, embedded finance, issuing) is competitively complete versus Pismo, citing Flagstar momentum.

Paul Todd confirmed organic decline of low single digits in Q1 with similar Q2 expected. H2 improvement from incremental ISV growth and international ramp especially Brazil. End goal is migrating non-Clover to Clover where product fits.

Paul Todd confirmed no new pricing developments, pleased with sequential improvement in digital payments. Mike Lyons affirmed strategic value of STAR and Accel networks.

Mike Lyons described Clover Capital as very underpenetrated vs peers, with operational pricing and risk management refinements just beginning. Sees significant TAM within current risk appetite.

Mike Lyons noted direct is newest and fastest-expanding channel benefiting revenue and margin, but didn't quantify its specific contribution to $4.5B.

Bob Hau explained Payfair adds program management capability for embedded finance clients, complementing existing in-house and third-party capabilities.

Lores gave anonymized wins, a social commerce platform up 50% in volume and a marketplace up 9% TPV, rather than the named U.S. merchants requested.

Jamie outlined two phases, structural realignment and AI deployment, and highlighted CSO and engineering productivity as key areas but deferred detailed cadence to coming months.

Jamie disclosed BNPL is mostly pay-in-four/pay-monthly with ~40-day average portfolio turn (much higher than peers). Economics on par or better than peers. Declined to give specific loss rates or net take rate, instead framing BNPL holistically at the branded checkout level, drives stickiness with 30-40% incremental branded checkout usage.

Alex described the shift from negotiating button placement to using payment-ready API to identify customers upfront, driving conversion increases and merchant adoption organically.

Alex described Germany as a market leadership position where PayPal is #1 brand, with NFC launch coming this quarter. U.K. more competitive but biometrics gaining regulatory approval for 2FA, enabling seamless experience.

Jamie noted PayPal is now more balanced across verticals with significant expansion into services, making the discretionary spending dynamic more muted versus a few years ago.

Ferris acknowledged AI can speed core conversions but doubted it eliminates switching costs given regulatory complexity and the integrated suite involved.

Stephanie declined to provide 2026 Worldpay revenue guide, noting it's now a third-party agreement with Global Payments. Explained revenue is driven by legitimate product usage: loyalty/premium payback, NICE network routing. Growth reflects strong payment product demand, same as any third-party customer.

James identified three margin drivers for 2026: M&A swinging from 45-50bps drag to ~10bps accretive; TSA headwind of ~50bps continuing at same level; and the biggest lever being quality of ACV mix (digital, payments at 50%+ margins) plus cost programs that are second-half loaded, creating strong carryover.

Stephanie emphasized rational pricing environment across all products including NICE. NICE performance driven by adding account volume and winning merchants for least-cost routing, not pricing actions. Not something that can drive one-time pricing benefits.

Mehra reiterated roughly 60% of VAS revenue is network-linked and said one or two deals will not shift that balance; Miebach stressed data synergies from acquisitions.

Michael emphasized the difficulty of replicating global acceptance: requires local regulatory understanding, local partnerships, user experience standards, safety and security. Sachin added that domestic acceptance footprint built for domestic business also serves cross-border, making it harder for competitors to unbundle.

Sachin gave detailed walkthrough: new contracts have fixed + variable R&I, fixed amortized over contract life. At contract end, it depends on broader relationship, sometimes rack rates, sometimes bundled into new deals.

Sachin gave a detailed overview: hedges transaction and monetary asset exposures at 50-80% ratios, does not hedge translation exposure, views it as economic hedging.
