Visa Integrates Network into ChatGPT to Power Agent-Led Payments
V•Visa will integrate its payment network, credentialing, tokenisation and fraud monitoring into OpenAI’s ChatGPT, allowing AI agents to initiate purchases with spending limits and security controls. The collaboration under the Visa Intelligent Commerce initiative extends tokenised Visa credentials into agent-led consumer and enterprise transactions.
1. Partnership Scope

2. Technical Integration
Under the partnership, developers and merchants can integrate tokenised Visa credentials, real-time authorisation and risk tools into agent-led commerce experiences. Spending limits, merchant category restrictions and approval requirements ensure transactions adhere to security and user policies.
3. Visa Intelligent Commerce Initiative
This collaboration is part of Visa’s Intelligent Commerce initiative, which extends its secure payment infrastructure into emerging digital environments. The initiative focuses on leveraging AI to drive seamless, trusted transactions across consumer and enterprise applications.
4. Future Enterprise Applications
Visa and OpenAI plan to explore enterprise use cases powered by OpenAI’s Codex, enabling automated conversational workflows and developer-oriented payment experiences. The partnership aims to build infrastructure for secure, transparent agentic transactions in complex business scenarios.
