Visa

Visa is a global payments network and fintech company connecting issuers, merchants and consumers. Its recent initiatives have focused on stablecoins and AI agent payments, including a platform supporting assets such as OUSD, a partnership with OpenAI to build programmable money rails and work on an AI-powered digital financial assistant. Visa is also expanding tap-to-phone acceptance, contactless payments on the Taipei Metro and co-branded card applications. As stablecoin transaction volumes rise and AI agent payments move into commercial use, Visa’s approach to security, settlement and infrastructure bottlenecks will be important to watch.
