Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

As a Finance Intern within Visa’s Treasury team, I support a range of activities related to foreign exchange risk management, liquidity management, and treasury transformation initiatives. My role involves analysing financial and treasury data, maintaining reporting tools and dashboards, and assisting with projects that help optimise treasury operations and improve efficiency. On a day-to-day basis, I work closely with stakeholders across Treasury and Finance to support ongoing business activities, prepare presentations and reports for senior leadership, conduct research into industry trends and emerging treasury technologies. The role provides exposure to both the operational and strategic aspects of corporate treasury, allowing me to develop analytical, technical, and stakeholder management skills while supporting the management of financial risk and liquidity within a global organisation.
