Visa has made a strategic investment in Replit, aiming to integrate AI-driven payment solutions into the developer platform. The partnership is designed to facilitate 'agentic payments,' streamlining financial transactions for developers and users building on Replit's platform.
Visa has introduced Intelligent Commerce Connect, a platform enabling AI agents to autonomously browse, select, and pay for goods on behalf of users. The new system is currently in pilot, designed to work with both Visa and non-Visa cards, and supports secure, tokenized transactions for agent-driven commerce.
Visa is piloting its 'Agentic Ready' programme in Europe, exploring how AI agents can initiate payments autonomously. The initiative, in collaboration with Commerzbank and DZ Bank, focuses on adapting payment infrastructure for AI-driven transactions while addressing security and compliance. The trials signal a potential shift in how banks manage identity, consent, and risk in an increasingly automated financial landscape.
