The next wave: Visa’s critical role in AI powered commerce

Artificial intelligence is rapidly working its way into our lives, but would you trust it not only to choose purchases but also to pay on your behalf? That’s the world we’re heading towards, according to Visa’s Chief Product Officer for Commercial and Money Movement Solutions, Mark Nelson. Elisa Di Marco, Magellan’s Investment Director and Analyst, joins Mark to explore how one of the world’s largest payments networks is shaping the next era of commerce. From tapping and tokenisation to AI-powered ‘agentic commerce’ that can shop on your behalf, Mark explains the innovations driving Visa’s growth, the trust and security underpinning its network and why stablecoins could accelerate payment digitisation in emerging markets. Mark also shares how AI agents could transform the way consumers plan, purchase and book holidays while ensuring Visa’s network keeps payments seamless and secure.
