Visa, a leader in digital payments, has announced a new partnership with McAfee, to enable Visa financial institution partners in North America and EMEA to offer internet security to Visa Business cardholders.

The collaboration empowers Visa Business cardholders to save up to 40% on a two-year subscription on comprehensive McAfee solutions that protect sensitive data via email, provide web and firewall protection, offer mobile VPN, and safeguard devices from malware and the latest online threats.

“As small business owners rely more heavily on their digital infrastructure it’s never been more important to ensure that the proper protections have been implemented. We are proud to partner with Visa to offer solutions to their Visa Business cardholders and look forward to helping these organizations stay secure so they can focus on what matters most to their business,” said Pedro Gutierrez, SVP Global Consumer Sales & Operations at McAfee.

The McAfee security solution will provide protection for a varying number of PCs, Macs, iOS and Android devices to fit specific business sizes and needs. As an upgraded offer, Visa Infinite Business cardholders in the U.S. can save up to 63% and receive access to flexible licensing options, including a 1-year subscription to McAfee Total Protection for 5/10/25 devices with varying levels of TechMaster call support. The remainder of the U.S. and Canada cardholders, as well as EMEA, will have access to 2-year licensing options for McAfee Total Protection for 5/10/25 devices.

“Protecting the top line from fraud helps improve the bottom line for small businesses. With Visa’s Payment Fraud Disruption capabilities inherently protecting all Visa Business cardholders behind the scenes, offering McAfee Total Protection provides an additional layer of security that can help further prevent fraud, which can have an outsized impact on small businesses,” said  Gloria Colgan, global head of card products and platforms, Visa Business Solutions.
