Find and support a local business

Whether it is helping businesses impacted by natural disasters or identifying a place that accepts Visa credit or debit cards, we believe in using the power of Visa’s network to help support communities.

Use Visa’s Business search tool below to find and support businesses that have processed a Visa transaction in the past 24 hours.


Get started

Enter your province, city and postal code (optional) in the tool below. You can also filter by business type and business name. To populate results, click the search button.


Don't see your business?

We are working to expand and grow this database. If a business in your community is not included in the results, please let us know. Email the business name, street address, city and province, and business website (if available) to [email protected]. Once we are able to verify the business, we’ll work to get it added.


How Visa powers the Back to Business Locator

Using our payment network, Visa is able to identify merchants that have recently processed a Visa transaction, suggesting some level of business operation. The Locator is then updated to reflect all merchants with transactions that have been processed in the last 24 hours, helping you find open businesses in your community.

Following a global crisis or natural disaster, businesses may face challenges in letting customers know they are open. Visa identifies merchants that have successfully processed a Visa transaction, which may be an indicator that the business is open. Within a day of Visa identifying a transaction, Visa updates the Back to Business Locator with information to help customers locate merchants that may be open.
