Enterprise-wide Disclosures and Concentration of Business [Abstract]

Enterprise-wide Disclosures and Concentration of Business

The Company’s long-lived net property, equipment and technology assets are classified by major geographic areas as follows:

	September 30, 2013		September 30, 2012
	(in millions)
United States	$	1,621	$	1,539
International	111		95
Total	$	1,732	$	1,634

Revenue by geographic market is primarily based on the location of the issuing financial institution. Revenues earned in the United States were approximately 54%, 55% and 56% of total operating revenues in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. No individual country, other than the United States, generated more than 10% of total operating revenues in these years.

A significant portion of Visa’s operating revenues is concentrated among its largest clients. Loss of business from any of these clients could have an adverse effect on the Company. The Company did not have any customer that generated greater than 10% of its net operating revenues in fiscal 2013, 2012 or 2011
