Visa has made an undisclosed investment in agentic software creation platform Replit. As part of the collaboration, the companies plan to integrate Visa Intelligent Commerce into Replit’s software creation platform.
The work is intended to help developers build applications and agents that can initiate “secure transactions and accept payments” through Visa’s network from within Replit workflows, a statement said.

The collaboration also includes exploration of how agents built on Replit could join Visa’s Trusted Agent Protocol registry. This registry is designed to allow agents to be recognised as Visa-trusted and able to transact across merchant and service endpoints on behalf of consumers.
Visa and Replit are also exploring how agentic technologies could interact with payments infrastructure.
This includes early work related to machine-to-machine and agent-driven payment experiences. The companies framed this work around potential digital interactions such as high-frequency, low-value transactions between services.
Visa Growth Products and Partnerships head, SVP, Rubail Birwadker said: “The next generation of builders and companies is emerging within ecosystems like Replit has developed.
“Our investment and partnership reflect a shared view that card payments should be native, secure and integrated directly into those experiences from the start, so developers can easily build commerce into applications and agents from day one.”
Replit co-founder and CEO Amjad Masad said: “Over the last few months, our enterprise traction has been growing, and Visa coming on board underscores our mission of making coding available to anyone in a secure and robust manner.
“Our continued customer and partner additions in the enterprise, coupled with our new self-serve program, bring us closer to a world where any team can go from idea to production-ready software quickly and securely.”
Founded in 2016, Replit enables application development using natural language. The company said it has more than 50 million users and that its customer base includes users in 85% of the Fortune 500.
In February, Razorpay partnered with Replit to support payments and monetisation for AI-first builders in India.
