Kyle has been in Banking/Financial Services for 24 years and recently joined Visa Inc as Vice President of US Financial Institution Sales. With Visa, Kyle is leading a team dedicated to advising and supporting the payments technology agenda of community financial institutions in their Great Lakes region (MI, IN & OH). Community banking is the lifeblood of local economies. With his team as a trusted partner, community institutions can be confident that they will have the support they need to compete in the ever-changing payments ecosystem. Visa enables the future of commerce for everyone, everywhere. Prior to joining Visa, Kyle was with J.P.

Kyle started his banking career with a community bank serving his hometown of Plymouth/Canton Michigan and was drawn to the satisfaction received from helping their clients with everyday banking needs. He quickly moved into management of retail branches and then into Small Business where he learned that business owners and entrepreneurs have an addictive passion for what they do and what they believe in. A passion that he can clearly see within the Heidelberg Project and Tyree Guyton.
