Animoca and Visa Pilot AI Agent Shopping with Automated Payment Capabilities

Animoca Brands and Visa have completed a live pilot of AI agent commerce, integrating Visa Intelligent Commerce into Animoca’s Minds agent platform.

In designated merchant scenarios in Hong Kong, AI agents can search for applicable discounts based on users’ eligible Visa cards and spending preferences, and complete purchases on behalf of users within preset transaction limits and permissions. The first pilot merchant is the Bruce Lee Club Ltd online store.

The solution leverages Visa’s tokenized payment credentials, identity verification, transaction controls, and anti-fraud capabilities — it is not a stablecoin payment project. This pilot demonstrates that AI e-commerce is advancing from assisted search and recommendations toward controlled agent-driven ordering and payment.
