Visa adds new way to share customer shopping data with retailers

The data will be shared via the payments giant’s proprietary “tokens,” which provide an added layer of security between a consumer’s bank information and a merchant. Shopping inclinations and other information based on past transactions will be shared via token with retailers with the consent of consumers.

“It’s almost entirely blind to almost all consumers,” Visa Chief Executive Officer Ryan McInerney said in an interview of the company’s token technology. “They just know their payments work better.”
