Visa and OpenAI announced a partnership enabling ChatGPT agents to complete purchases on users’ behalf within approved spending parameters using stored Visa credentials.
The integration allows shoppers to authorize transactions through conversational prompts while Visa’s fraud detection systems monitor activity.
Both companies said users retain control over payment limits and can revoke agent access at any time.
Consumer advocates urged clear disclosure when AI systems initiate charges without a traditional checkout screen.
