Team summary

The Seller Solutions & Acceptance team is part of the Seller Sales and Acquiring (MS&A) hub organization. This is a team of thought leaders and execution-focused specialists who deploy seller-side solutions and acceptance growth initiatives to catalyse seller acceptance growth across Asia Pacific.

 What a Senior Business Development Manager, Seller Solutions does at Visa:

This individual will be an integral part of a team of seller-side domain experts who have the primary objective to deploy seller and acquirer infrastructure solutions (such as Rapid Seller Onboarding (RSO), Tap2Phone and Verifi) as well as execute acceptance growth initiatives (e.g. SMB Acceptance Fast Track program).
