Overview
- OpenAI announced ChatGPT Wallet on Friday, November 13, 2026, and began a narrow U.S. rollout that is available only to Pro subscribers age 18 and over.
- The Wallet lets OpenAI’s 'dots' agents find items and request purchases that users must approve with biometric checks such as Face ID or Touch ID before payment proceeds.
- American Express, Mastercard and Visa supply scoped, transaction-specific payment tokens so dots never see raw card numbers or CVVs and card rewards and protections remain intact.
- OpenAI said it will not take a cut of transactions at launch and published guidance for merchants as some large sellers are already blocking agent-driven purchases.
- The feature builds on months of OpenAI commerce experiments and could open a new revenue path while forcing merchants and payment networks to adapt to automated buying.
