According to a report published by Reuters, e-commerce giant Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) and payment processing services provider Visa, Inc. (NYSE: V) have reached an agreement under which the former will accept the latter’s cards at all its stores and sites across the world.
In November, Amazon had said that it would stop accepting U.K.-issued Visa credit cards as the company charged very high transaction fees.
A Visa spokesperson said, “Visa is pleased to have reached a broad, global agreement with Amazon. This agreement includes the acceptance of Visa at all Amazon stores and sites today, as well as a joint commitment to collaboration on new product and technology initiatives to ensure innovative payment experiences for our customers in the future.”
