Alchemy's AI-driven AgentCard gains access to Visa payments network

Blockchain infrastructure firm Alchemy said AI agents with its AgentCard now have access to the Visa network with complete identity and payment capabilities, enabling them to make online purchases on behalf of consumers. The integration allows AgentCard, a virtual ID and spending card for AI agents, to access Visa Intelligent Commerce to book a vacation, order groceries or renew a subscription, for example, without the consumer ever touching a checkout screen.

By connecting to the Visa system, AI agents will be able to transact using Visa-issued tokens, preserving rewards, credit lines and card benefits without creating new accounts or credentials. AgentCard's routing layer selects the best available payment mechanism for each transaction and falls back to single-use tokens where agent-native protocols are not supported.

AgentCard works with agents built on models from any provider, including OpenAI or Anthropic.
