Visa Launches AI Tool for Card Payments

Visa Launches CLI Tool for AI-Driven Card Payments

• Visa introduced Visa CLI, a command-line interface tool enabling AI agents to execute card payments autonomously.
• This marks the first public product from Visa Crypto Labs, announced by Cuy Sheffield, head of Visa’s crypto division.
• The tool simplifies payment-enabled app development by eliminating traditional API key management.
• Visa CLI supports agentic commerce, allowing autonomous systems to transact within embedded workflows.
• The tool requires GitHub authentication and is part of Visa’s Intelligent Commerce initiative with over 100 partners.
• Earlier in the year, Visa expanded automated payments through its Agentic Ready program with over 20 European banks.

Visa’s new CLI tool facilitates autonomous card payments by AI agents, streamlining developer processes and supporting the growing trend of agentic commerce.
