Aug 31, 2026 · Issue 5 · 10 sources, 10 articles

Visa, Mastercard and Fiserv have joined the Agentic Payments Alliance as founding members; the group brings together more than 25 organisations and seeks common rules for payments made by AI agents. EMVCo has meanwhile published a draft framework for card-based agentic payments (an Intent Services proposal), with comments open until 30 September.

Who is affected and how

banking professional
Comments on the EMVCo draft can be submitted until 30 September, and issuers should already consider their customer and agent identification logic.
fintech company
Firms should align with the emerging standards or take part in shaping them, because these will determine how agent payments are accepted.
