Visa announced an undisclosed investment in AI coding platform Replit and is exploring ways to integrate Visa payment products into Replit. Developers using Replit, including AI agents they build, could accept payments directly from customers without leaving the platform. Visa employees have used Replit for prototyping and development. The partnership includes exploring Visa Intelligent Commerce for AI-powered payments and the Trusted Agent Protocol, which enables AI agents to securely identify themselves by sharing intent and relevant customer details so agent payments can be verified and trusted. The work remains exploratory with no formally announced joint products. The investment aligns with efforts to build infrastructure for agentic payments, where AI agents buy and sell on users’ behalf.
"Visa has announced an undisclosed investment in AI coding platform Replit. The two companies are also exploring how to integrate Visa's payment products into Replit, so that developers - and the AI agents they build - can accept payments directly from customers without leaving the platform."
"Visa added that more than 1,000 of its employees have been using Replit for prototyping and development. As part of the partnership, the companies are exploring how developers on Replit can use Visa's suite for AI-powered payments, called Visa Intelligent Commerce, as well as Visa's Trusted Agent Protocol - a system that allows AI agents to securely identify themselves by sharing information like their intent and relevant customer details, so that payments made by agents can be verified and trusted."
"All of these projects are in an exploratory stage, and the companies haven't formally announced any joint products. The investment reflects a broader race to establish the infrastructure for so-called agentic payments - a world in which AI agents buy and sell things on users' behalf."
"Replit is also launching self-serve enterprise access, allowing companies to sign contracts worth up to $200,000 without talking to a salesperson. The tier offers enterprise-grade compliance and controls, including SSO - single sign-on, a system that lets employees access multiple tools with one set of credentials - audit logs, and advanced permissions."
