(Reuters) - Visa Inc (N:V) will allow a majority of its workforce to work from home through 2020, according to Chief Executive Officer Alfred Kelly Jr., mirroring similar moves from other fintech companies earlier in the week.

The world's largest payments network is looking at bringing employees back to offices on a site-by-site basis in stages, said Kelly in a LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD) post https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alfredkelly_the-safety-and-well-being-of-visa-employees-activity-6668570742004813824-eFTl on Tuesday.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has so far infected more than 4.85 million people globally, has led to strict lockdowns in most countries and changed the way businesses function, with work-from-home emerging as the new norm.
