Payment services company Visa has agreed a deal to become a supporting partner of the Paralympics New Zealand national governing body.
Under the agreement, Visa will support the New Zealand team at this year’s Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which will take place from September 7-18.
“One of our key beliefs at Visa is the need to expand access to efficient, convenient and secure electronic payments for everyone everywhere,” Marty Kerr, country manager for Visa in the New Zealand and South Pacific region, said. “This reflects our partnership, which is about enabling and supporting our New Zealand para athletes on the world stage in the same way we support our Team Visa Olympic athletes.”
Visa has an existing relationship with the International Paralympic Committee and will serve as a global partner of the Rio 2016 Games.
