Visa (NYSE: V) and Square (NYSE: SQ) are two of the best-known financial services companies in the world right now, but they're very different from an investment perspective.
Visa is the financial giant that's at the center of trillions of dollars in credit card transactions and Square is the nimble upstart trying to disrupt the established financial system, starting with mobile payments. Another way to differentiate the two companies would be to say that Visa is a stock for value investors and Square is better for growth investors.
But there's a lot more to these financial services companies than that.
