Visa partnered with OpenAI to enable AI agents to make payments directly across OpenAI's platform, a major step toward agent-initiated commerce at scale. Paired with Mastercard's parallel 'Agent Pay for Machines' push, the card networks are racing to define the rails for autonomous transactions. For builders, this is the early standardization of how agents will authenticate, authorize, and settle real-money purchases.
