Operates the world's largest payment network. Does not lend money — just processes transactions and collects a fee on every card swipe globally. 4 billion cards. 100+ million merchants. Pure toll-road business model.
The second-largest payment network, nearly identical to Visa. Together they process the majority of card transactions globally. Expanding aggressively into real-time payments, open banking, and business-to-business payment flows.
Pioneered online payments and still processes a huge share of e-commerce globally. Owns Venmo (peer-to-peer payments) and Braintree (merchant processing). Under pressure from Apple Pay and competition but still handles billions of transactions.
Started as Square, selling card readers to small businesses. Now owns Cash App (45M+ users), Afterpay (buy now pay later), and Spiral (Bitcoin). Tries to build the financial infrastructure for people the traditional banking system underserves.
