Dan Rogers is a retiree in Kingston, Ontario. He isn't too thrilled that the bank that issues his Visa card sends his data to the United States for processing.

I don't really see the connection between the two, but he is rather pleased with it and Visa is not impressed. Apparently his latest statement was almost an inch think and Visa had to process many of the payments by hand.
