This is a big one. Actually deploying a network worldwide and it just working is a massive feat. I go to some backwards place in South America and if they’re not cash only they’ll take visa. If they are cash only I’ll be able to get cash from the nearest ATM.
I really dislike their duopoly and the fact they’re a tool for American politics but… it’s extremely convenient and well executed.
Contrast this with my bank, not using a third party provider, it would cost 30$ and take 3-5 business days to get money to a bank pickup location in a city.
Contrast this global coverage with the global coverage of my mobile provider that wants to charge me 6.50$/mb for data.
