The system allows users to securely upload their card information to an AI agent via Visa’s payment passkeys, which is then tokenized. Users can provide payment instructions and set customizable parameters, like spending limits, enabling the AI agent to find and purchase items or services on their behalf.
“This is going to transform shopping and buying — we’re letting AI developers and engineers use the Visa network to allow AI agents to find, and buy, on [the consumer’s] behalf in a seamless and safe way,” Mark Nelsen, Visa’s global head of consumer products, told PYMNTS’ Karen Webster on the eve of the announcement.
