Visa’s global payment infrastructure is being woven into OpenAI’s platforms, a move that signals the financial industry is preparing for an economy where AI agents handle purchases independently. The partnership includes granular user controls, such as spending caps and category restrictions, enforced in real time.

Thrilled to partner with Visa to invent the future of agentic payments. Visa is a large Replit enterprise customer where 1,000 employees use Replit, and they’re also a strategic investor in Replit. Today we’re expanding this partnership to R&D to make it seamless for developers to move money with agents. At Replit we’ve been obsessed with programmable value for years and ran a few experiments on how to integrate payments deeply into the modern coding and AI stack, but it was too early. Partnering with Visa will give us the opportunity to deliver on this dream.

Visa is for vibe coders. Anyone can spin up an app and any API can become a merchant. Starting today we’re onboarding x402 and MPP merchant endpoints into Visa CLI so APIs, LLMs, data products, and dev tools can be discovered and purchased by verified agents with cards on file. If you’re building an x402 or MPP endpoint, or want Visa to help you stand one up, sign up below. We’re also opening Visa CLI to initial users in the US. DM me for an invite.

Visa found that the economics of ransomware attacks have shifted. While such attacks in the second half of 2025 were up 26% year over year, only 23% of victims paid ransoms — the lowest rate on record, according to Visa’s Spring 2026 Biannual Threat. bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco…

Visa says scams are now the fastest-growing threat in payments, with fraudsters using AI-generated content, voice impersonation and deepfakes to exploit human trust rather than technical vulnerabilities. Full story on PYMNTS: hubs.ly/Q04hM21t0
