OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Wallet for AI Agents to Shop Without Crypto

OPENAI+0.00%

OpenAI launched ChatGPT Wallet on Friday, allowing its AI agents to complete purchases using American Express, Mastercard, and Visa cards without accessing actual card numbers or involving cryptocurrency. The system uses payment tokens containing substitute card details; after a user approves each transaction via security check such as fingerprint or Face ID, the agent submits the token through existing merchant checkout systems while customers retain card rewards and dispute protections.

The rollout is limited to ChatGPT Pro subscribers aged 18 or older in the United States with eligible U.S.-issued cards. Wallet operates within dots conversations and currently requires user approval for every purchase. The product does not hold crypto balances or cash, distinguishing it from competing stablecoin-based approaches by Coinbase and Circle.
