Visa Layoffs Hit Downtown Bellevue: 70 Jobs Cut in AI-Driven Restructuring

Visa is cutting 70 jobs at its downtown Bellevue office starting October 1, 2026, as part of a global restructuring affecting about 2,600 positions companywide. The payments giant is reorganizing around artificial intelligence and consolidating teams to work more efficiently. While the Bellevue cuts are small compared to recent layoffs at other major tech employers in the region, they reflect a broader trend of AI-driven workforce reductions across the Eastside.
