• Legacy payment authorisation systems can limit acquirers’ ability to support emerging payment methods and new forms of commerce
• Visa Intelligent Authorization enables modern payment processing across major card networks through a single API, helping eliminate the need for costly infrastructure rebuilds

SINGAPORE, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Visa (NYSE: V) today announced the launch of Visa Intelligent Authorization, a new capability on the Visa Acceptance Platform that enables acquirers (banks and other financial institutions that process payments for merchants) to modernise their payment processing through a single API connection, helping eliminate the need for expensive, time‑consuming infrastructure rebuilds.

Authorisation is core to how digital payments work: acquirers send real‑time authorisation requests through card networks to consumer banks, which approve or decline within seconds. Yet legacy systems can struggle with today’s volumes and data complexity – resulting in false declines, higher costs and limiting innovation.

Visa Intelligent Authorization helps address these challenges by providing a modern authorisation capability that can process transactions across major card networks through a single integration. The solution delivers 99.999% uptime^[1] and achieves an average approval rate of 96.3% globally, both industry‑leading benchmarks. It can be used as an acquirer’s main processor or as a complement to extend their capabilities.

The product’s machine‑learning engine analyses transaction data in real time to help optimise routing decisions based on network rules, industry programmes and regional regulations. It also provides instant risk alerts and a centralised portal, complete with an analytics dashboard, to streamline oversight, settlement and regulatory compliance.

Prerequisite for innovation

As digital payments evolve, modern processing infrastructure is becoming a prerequisite for innovation. Digital wallets, stablecoins and new forms of commerce (such as agentic commerce) are increasing both the volume and complexity of transactions flowing through authorisation systems.

Recent Visa‑commissioned YouGov research underscores why this shift is accelerating. Across Asia Pacific, 74% of consumers already use AI‑powered tools as part of their shopping journey, increasing the speed, frequency and data intensity of payment interactions. As AI‑enabled commerce, digital wallets and new payment flows become more embedded in everyday transactions, authorisation systems are required to process richer data sets in real time, at greater scale and with higher reliability. This rising complexity is exposing the limitations of legacy authorisation infrastructure and reinforcing the need for modern, always‑on processing capabilities.

“We’re entering a new era of commerce, where AI agents can act on behalf of consumers, stablecoins are reshaping settlement, and digital wallets are becoming the primary interface for payments. The opportunity is significant. But much of today’s infrastructure was built for a different generation of transactions,” says Axel Boye‑Moller, Head of Value‑Added Services, Asia Pacific at Visa.

“Visa Intelligent Authorization is designed for this shift, delivering smarter decisioning across networks through a single integration. It is built for what’s happening now, and what’s coming next.”

Availability

Visa Intelligent Authorization is available to eligible acquirers as part of the Visa Acceptance Platform, providing a scalable foundation for modern payment processing as the industry continues to evolve.

SYDNEY, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BLUETTI, a technology pioneer in clean energy, has announced the Australian launch of its new Elite 400 wheeled power station, available from March 9, 2026. Combining nearly 4kWh of high capacity with suitcase-like mobility, the Elite 400 rolls around to support home backup, outdoor activities, small businesses, and off-grid operations.

BLUETTI Launches Elite 400 Rolling Power Station in Australia

Roll-in Power for All Scenarios

Despite its large capacity, the Elite 400 is designed for easy transport. A pull rod, durable wheels, and integrated handles allow one person to move the unit between locations, from living room to vehicle to worksite.

Built for versatility, the Elite 400 provides 2,600W of continuous AC output, with up to 3,900W lifting power to handle high-startup appliances, including fridges, freezers, induction cooktops, and power tools. Its pure sine wave output through seven versatile ports offers stable, clean power delivery for DJ setups, market stalls, and outdoor events.

Long-Lasting Operation, Least Downtime

On a full charge, the Elite 400 can operate a 50W portable fridge for over 131 hours, a 1,000W ice maker for approximately 3.2 hours, or a 120W speaker for about 25 hours, supporting extended use without refuels, emissions, or noise.

When it’s depleted, the AC+solar combined input of 3,300W gets it back to 80% recharge in one hour under optimal conditions. This fast turnaround ensures non-stop operation for rural farms, remote properties, and off-grid sheds seeking clean and cost-effective energy solutions.

Fast UPS Backup with Smart Control

As an interrupted power supply, Elite 400 switches to battery power within 15ms, keeping security cameras, POS machines, and work-from-home gear intact during sudden outages. Its 3W ultra-low self-consumption guarantees long standby periods.

Smart monitoring and control are available through the BLUETTI app via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Users can track real-time power usage, schedule charging, and automate power routines for day-to-day convenience.

The BLUETTI Elite 400 will retail at AUD $2,999 on the official BLUETTI Australia website from March 9, 2026.
