VisaA Bold New Chapter in Digital Payments
Visa has officially launched a transformative era in commerce, unveiling a series of AI-powered innovations, product developments, and strategic partnerships designed to reshape how people buy and sell. Speaking at the Global Product Drop event, Visa CEO Ryan McInerney emphasized the importance of building trusted, secure, and scalable systems that support the future of intelligent commerce.
“As payment technologies evolve, they must be backed by a network that is always available, secure, and continually innovating,” said McInerney. “Visa is combining decades of expertise with the power of AI to bring trust and functionality to this new frontier in digital payments.”
Visa Intelligent Commerce: AI at the Core
At the heart of Visa’s announcement is Visa Intelligent Commerce, an initiative that opens its payment network to developers and platforms shaping the next generation of AI-powered transactions. With this move, Visa is laying the foundation for AI agents that can autonomously search, compare, and complete purchases on behalf of users — with full trust and integration across banks, merchants, and payment systems.
Key technology partners in this ecosystem include Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, Samsung, Stripe, Mistral AI, and Perplexity, all of whom are collaborating to deliver personalized, secure, and seamless AI commerce experiences globally.

Additional Innovations and Rollouts
Visa also announced the expansion of Flex Credential, a dynamic payment credential that adapts to different use cases, including a new partnership with Klarna to bring flexible payments to the U.S. and Europe.
Other key advancements include:
