Local businesses are the backbone of our communities. Right now, as more people are staying at home they need support to keep their dreams and traditions going. As champions of ‘Where you shop matters’ Visa is uplifting businesses to bring their amazing ideas to life, so that they can continue to serve their communities online.

Celebrating Independent businesses through the year
Read how we were inspired by the way business owners across the country adapted during the first lockdown, to find new ways of running their business and staying connected to their customers at this difficult time, through to celebrating a year of difficulties and taking their businesses online.
