Visa Europe has confirmed plans to move its regional headquarters to Canary Wharf after signing a major lease at One Canada Square.
The payments giant will relocate from its current Paddington base in summer 2028, taking 300,000 square feet across multiple floors on a 15-year term, according to Finextra.
The move will consolidate Visa’s European operations in one of London’s fastest-growing financial and technology hubs.
Antony Cahill, regional president and CEO of Visa Europe, said the relocation reflects the company’s long-term ambitions. “Digital payments power economies right across Europe. This exciting next step will better position us to pioneer the future of payments, giving Europeans access to world-class payment experiences while being offered the highest levels of security, resilience and reliability.”
The announcement marks another significant win for Canary Wharf Group following more than £7bn of investment in new developments, infrastructure and amenities over the past six years. The district has seen a surge in financial and technology firms committing to large-scale space.
JP Morgan has recently confirmed plans for a three-million-square-foot building at the estate, while fintech leaders such as Revolut and Zopa have also chosen the location for major office moves.
Shobi Khan, CEO of Canary Wharf Group, said: “Visa joins a fintech community of more than 65 companies ranging from innovative startups to global leaders in our growing tech and AI community. This diverse customer base reflects our evolution into a thriving mixed-use district that supports customers at every stage of their journey.”
