K&H prepares to accept payments initiated with Mastercard Agent Pay
K&H has prepared its systems to receive transactions initiated by digital assistants using Mastercard Agent Pay technology. The bank is reportedly already able to identify and process these payments (22 September 2026).
Who is affected and how
- banking professional
- Agent-initiated payments are also appearing at Hungarian banks, and the process for identifying and handling them must be developed.
- fintech company
- K&H's move signals that agent payment acceptance capabilities are also being built in the domestic market.
- retail customer
- A customer's AI assistant may in future initiate purchases through the bank, so it is worth clarifying the approval conditions.
