Tools for Humanity, the company founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and overseeing World Network, is reportedly negotiating with Visa to integrate stablecoin payment services into its World Wallet. According to a source familiar with the matter, this partnership aims to allow World Wallet users to make both crypto and fiat payments through Visa’s global network of merchants.
Visa Integration for Crypto Payments
World Network is building an ecosystem that enables self-custody wallets to connect directly with Visa’s merchant network. The new service would offer stablecoin payments, foreign exchange services, fiat on and off-ramps, and a variety of fintech applications.

Tools for Humanity has submitted a product request form to Visa and other card issuers. In addition, World Network has been in discussions with Rain, a crypto card provider backed by Coinbase and Circle, which offers Visa cards for projects like Optimism and Avalanche.
Turning World Wallet Into a “Mini Bank Account”
A source familiar with the plans stated that the goal is to turn World Wallet into a “mini bank account,” allowing users to trade FX and crypto, load and send funds, and spend directly from their card. The source added that Sam Altman’s significant resources and influence might pose a competitive challenge to other wallet providers.
World Chat and Biometric Data Concerns
Earlier this month, World Network announced its World Chat application, enabling users to transfer cryptocurrency between accounts within the network. Meanwhile, the Worldcoin Orb, which scans users’ irises for biometric identification, has remained controversial since its 2021 launch.
Major payment networks like Visa and Mastercard are intensifying collaborations with crypto projects to expand their role in digital assets. A potential partnership between World Network and Visa could mark a significant milestone in this trend.
Representatives from Tools for Humanity, Rain, and Visa declined to comment on the matter.
