Why is VisaNet used instead of other payment systems?

[codsssomobile]

I have previously worked on projects using S2S systems and PayPal APIs. However, I don’t understand why VisaNet is commonly used. A client I’m working with mentioned that most of their customers use VisaNet, but they couldn’t explain why.

Can someone clarify the reasons or advantages of using VisaNet over other payment systems?

Thanks
