Moonshot AI, Agricultural Bank of China, American Express launch AI-native credit card

WHY IT MATTERS
Signals shift from AI-as-backend-tool to AI-as-product-interface in consumer banking; card networks now racing to embed LLMs in cardholder experience. Expect similar launches from US/EU issuers within 6 months.
