no, it does not provide finance.
yes, its a company like MasterCard, AMEX.
there are just a handful of such companies in the world. the industry is called as the payment industry. these copanies basically facilitate the transaction between the user of the credit card and the credit card issuing authority.

A Visa is an endorsement made by an authorized representative of one country upon a passport issued by another, permitting the passport holder entry into or transit through the country making the endorsement.
Basically, any stamp in your passport is a visa that allows you to travel. A work Visa is a stamp that goes in your passport that allows you to work in a foreign country for a specified period of time.
The Visa Card took it's name from this concept. The Visa credit card is a "passport" that gives you credit endorsed by the issuing bank of the card.
