Think about this for a second. Every time you swipe your card for coffee, tap for gas, or buy something online, a tiny fee quietly moves through the system.
You don't see it. You don't think about it. But that invisible toll has minted more billionaires than Silicon Valley.
Visa made roughly thirty-six billion dollars last year, just by taking a few cents from billions of swipes. Stripe processed about one-point-four trillion dollars in payments, about 1.3 percent of global GDP, simply by collecting small percentages at a massive scale.
Now here's the part no one talks about. Those same tiny fees that make Visa rich can also pay you, every single month. Because thousands of independent agents and referral partners are already earning from the same streams.
