Starting next month, Canadians won't be able to shop with their Visa cards at Walmart. The phase-out will begin July 18 at three stores in Thunder Bay. “After Thunder Bay, it’ll be a phased approach across the country. It’s limited to Canada,” a Wal-Mart spokeswoman told The Wall Street Journal.

Visa told WSJ the move will have a "negative impact" on Canadian shoppers.
