Visa announced a partnership with ChatGPT that allows the AI assistant to complete purchases on behalf of users through Visa’s payment network.
The integration moves beyond product recommendations to direct transaction execution, marking a significant step in AI-driven commerce.
Visa said the feature would roll out gradually with security safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized spending. Merchants must opt in to accept AI-initiated payments.
The announcement came as OpenAI and other AI companies raced to monetize chatbot traffic through partnerships with financial and retail platforms.
