1
Almost everyone knows the Visa brand.
2
One of the most trusted and recognizable in the world.
3
But not everyone knows what Visa does.
4
A credit card company.
5
Not a credit card company.
6
Is it a bank company?
7
Nope.
8
They loan money.
9
Try again.
10
They lend the money to you and then they charge your bank account later.
11
Sorry.
12
I have no idea.
13
Oh!
14
Can I have a clue?
15
Visa is a payments technology company that facilitates commerce around the world.
16
Whether you are making a purchase, sending money to a friend, or part of a business moving money to another business.
17
Visa pioneered the electronic payments business more than 60 years ago, envisioning a world in which paying for something could be translated into electrons
18
and photons that move across the globe at the speed of light.
19
The consumer may access an infinite range of goods and services whenever he chooses, he chooses, wherever he may be.
20
Today, there are more than 3 billion Visa accounts around the world, in more than 200 countries and territories.
21
During fiscal year 2019, more than 200 billion payments in cash transactions were made with the Visa brand,
22
representing more than 11 trillion in payments and cash volume, from the largest cities to remote communities across the globe.
23
Each transaction made on the Visa network represents a packet of data that moves across a massive telecommunications network, more than 10 million miles in length end to end.
24
The network is made up of fiber, ethernet, wireless, satellite, and virtual connections,
25
linking consumers, businesses, governments, and financial institutions.
26
The journey of each transaction starts with you.
27
When you click, swipe, dip, or tap to pay, data about the transaction travels from the store owner to their bank or processor,
28
which captures the information and sends it to Visanet.
29
Visanet uses artificial intelligence technology to analyze every aspect of the transaction to determine the level of risk for fraud.
30
VisaNet routes the information to the bank that issued the customer's credit or debit account.
31
The bank decides whether to approve or decline the transaction based on Visa's risk score and its own data about the account.
32
Traveling back through VisaNet, the approved request returns to the store owner, where where the transaction is completed.
33
Later on, Visa makes sure the money is transferred.
34
This authorization all happens in less than one second, whether you're in Miami, Madrid, or Mumbai.
35
Making sure that every transaction flows instantly are several global data centers synchronized in real time
36
so that if one system experiences issues, another picks up.
37
Software developers and other partners can use Visa's developer tools to build innovative ways to pay.
38
As a payments leader, Visa is extending the boundaries of our network and the potential of billions of connected devices,
39
bringing the security and reliability of our brand to customers across the entire payments ecosystem.
40
Digital commerce can extend to even the most remote regions, where people who don't typically bank can access the benefits of mobile technology.
41
Despite the growth of digital payments, about 1.7 billion people still lack access to formal financial services,
42
and consumers spend nearly $17 trillion in cash and checks.
43
Meeting this opportunity is the mission of Visa's more than 19,000
44
employees committed to accelerating the global migration to digital payments to enable individuals, businesses, and economies to thrive.
45
You might not know what Visa does because the inner workings of our network are not visible when you're making a payment, and they shouldn't be.
46
Speed, security, and convenience are what drive our business, so you can get on with yours, no matter how, when, and where you choose to pay.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
