What to choose for investment - Visa or MasterCard?
Most brokers allow you to trade shares of the largest and most popular companies issuing Visa or MasterCard plastic cards.
The trading process itself is as simple as possible; all you need to do to buy shares is choose a broker and make a transaction using the trading terminal.
But which investment will bring more profit to Visa or MasterCard?
Last year, the stock prices of these companies soared to record highs, Visa rose 23%, and MasterCard added as much as 27% to the value of its securities.
The main reason for the rise in price is the growing popularity of electronic payments, in addition, many countries have introduced restrictions on cash payments.
In addition to profiting from the rising share price, investors also received an increase in dividends.
Visa already pays its shareholders 0.75% per share, MasterCard increased payments to a record $0.80 per share.
While the growth trend continues, it is better for investors to hurry up with the purchase, because time is money.
