Visa announced a suite of APIs (application programming interfaces) that banks can use to offer bitcoin-related services, including buying and selling bitcoin, and related visa-card services.
Visa's crypto lead, Cuy Sheffield, explained to CoinDesk:
This is shifting to the next phase of Visa’s strategy where we’re looking at how Visa can also be a bridge between the thousands of financial institutions … and help them tap into the growing world of crypto assets and blockchain networks. We’re excited to see what early tests and consumer engagement look like for things like dollar-cost averaging to buy bitcoin or for things like earning bitcoin back as rewards.
Visa is using institutional crypto-services firm Anchorage to underpin its offerings. Anchorage made headlines just last month for becoming the first OCC-approved national crypto bank.
