Visa is launching a Trusted Agent Protocol to protect merchants from fraudulent bots during transactions with AI agents. This protocol uses cryptographic signatures to verify trusted agents and secure transactions, allowing AI to make purchases on behalf of consumers. It aims to enhance confidence in the agentic commerce ecosystem.

Visa and Aldar have introduced a voice-enabled payment system through the Live Aldar app, allowing customers to pay real estate service charges via an AI agent. This new feature aims to streamline routine transactions and enhance user convenience while ensuring security and transparency.
