Visa is a widely accepted payment network, and many banks issue Visa debit and credit cards. It's more accurate to say that many banks partner with Visa to offer cards to their customers. Determining every single bank that issues Visa cards is nearly impossible due to the sheer volume of financial institutions globally. However, here's a list of some banks known to offer Visa cards:
Examples of Banks Offering Visa Cards:
The following is not an exhaustive list, but it gives you an idea of the kinds of banks that partner with Visa.

How to Find Out if a Specific Bank Uses Visa
-
Check the Bank's Website: Most banks clearly display the logos of the payment networks they partner with (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) on their website, especially on their cards page or in the account details section.
-
Contact the Bank Directly: Call the bank's customer service or visit a branch and ask which payment networks their cards use.
-
Look at the Card: If you already have a card from the bank, the Visa logo will be prominently displayed on the front or back of the card.
Visa's Role
Visa itself is not a bank. It's a payment technology company that provides the network for electronic payments. Banks issue the cards that run on the Visa network.
