OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Wallet, enabling US-based ChatGPT Pro users to approve payments via their AI agents using tokenized card details without sharing sensitive card information. The service currently excludes UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, with local alternatives like du Pay available, and faces trust challenges amid concerns from banking groups and retailer restrictions.
