Quick Answer
Visa was founded by Bank of America, Dee Hock in 1958 in San Francisco, California. The company is currently led by Ryan McInerney.
Visa traces its roots to Bank of America's 1958 BankAmericard program. The card network later became a broader bank association, and Dee Hock helped shape the organization that became Visa. The 1976 Visa name gave the network a global brand, and the 2008 IPO turned the former member-owned network into a public company with shareholder-owned economics.
