Visa, Mastercard weigh cutting ties with Wirecard after scandal
THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 2020
Visa Inc. and Mastercard Inc. are considering revoking Wirecard AG's ability to process payments on their networks, moves that could cause further pain for the fintech firm that's been battered by an accounting scandal.
Wirecard, the troubled German payments company, withdrew its financial results, saying the missing 1.9 billion euros ($2.1 billion) of cash on its balance sheet probably doesn't exist.
