Visa, OpenAI to jointly build payment infrastructure for AI agents
Visa said on Thursday it has formed a strategic partnership with ChatGPT developer OpenAI to jointly build payment infrastructure for agent commerce. The companies plan to integrate Visa payments across OpenAI services to support transactions led by artificial intelligence agents. Visa will provide network, tokenisation and risk-management functions, with transactions limited to user-set spending caps, merchant categories and approval requirements. The plan was unveiled at the 2026 Visa Payments Forum in San Francisco.
