NYX Nyse Euronext

NYSE Euronext today welcomed executives and guests from Visa Inc. to celebrate the launch of Financial Soccer – a free, 2010 FIFA World Cup™ branded video game that combines the world's most popular sport with an award-winning financial literacy curriculum.

To mark the occasion, Joseph W. Saunders, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Visa Inc., rang the Opening Bell joined by NYSE Euronext CEO Duncan Niederauer and World Cup stars Landon Donovan of the Los Angeles Galaxy and Brian McBride of the Chicago Fire.

Prior to the bell-ringing, copies of Financial Soccer were distributed to each trader on the Exchange floor. The NYSE will use the game as part of its ongoing financial literacy outreach with teachers across the country.

“NYSE Euronext is proud to join with Visa in promoting financial literacy to America's youth,” said Duncan Niederauer, Chief Executive Officer, NYSE Euronext. "Visa and NYSE Euronext share a strong commitment to financial literacy and to reaching young people in innovative and interesting ways. For example, our co-branded DVD, Financial Soccer, is an interactive program that makes learning about finance fun and sets tangible goals for financial responsibility. I applaud Visa's initiative and welcome this opportunity, one of many that we support, to increase the public's awareness and understanding of finance and our capital markets.”

As a global payments technology company, Visa has worked for over a decade to increase financial inclusion through innovative products, services, payments expertise and financial literacy programs. Visa will underscore its commitment at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Conference, later that day.
