Visa Moving Headquarters to Foster City

The company will relocate from its San Francisco office effective Oct. 1.

Visa Inc. announced Thursday the company is closing its headquarters in San Francisco and moving about 100 employees back to its Foster City campus, effective Oct. 1, according to an article on bizjournals.com.

Business offiicials say the move makes sense for a number of reasons.
