Alchemy’s AgentCard integrates Visa for AI-driven payments

Alchemy’s AgentCard now integrates with Visa, letting AI agents autonomously make purchases and manage digital identity—ushering in automated, AI-driven payments and agentic commerce.

Alchemy has integrated its AgentCard service with the Visa Intelligent Commerce platform, enabling AI agents to autonomously make online purchases using Visa-backed payment credentials. Each AI agent receives a digital identity, including a tokenized Visa card, cryptocurrency wallet, dedicated email address, and phone number, all accessible via a unified API. AgentCard supports agents built on models from providers such as OpenAI and Anthropic, allowing them to handle transactions like travel bookings, grocery orders, and subscription renewals without manual user intervention. The service preserves existing rewards, credit lines, and card benefits, while offering real-time transaction monitoring and spending controls. This integration marks a significant step forward in payment technology, paving the way for automated, AI-driven financial transactions and agentic commerce. Industry experts believe it could reshape consumer behavior and business operations as digital payments evolve.
