OpenAI launches ChatGPT Wallet on November 13: its Agent (dot) can place orders and make payments on users’ behalf, but never gets access to their actual card numbers.
Key points from the official announcement:
1. In partnership with American Express, Mastercard, and Visa, the card networks generate a payment token for one-time use at checkout.
2. Users must review the merchant and amount for every transaction, then confirm with Face ID or a fingerprint.
3. Initially available only to U.S. Pro users aged 18 and older; pre-authorized spending limits by amount and category are planned for later.
For on-chain Agent wallets, the most valuable takeaway is: “The Agent never touches the real credentials.”
Would you rather give an Agent a spending limit, or confirm every transaction yourself?
