FIS has introduced a new platform that enables banks to engage in agentic commerce, allowing transactions initiated by AI agents. This service, developed in collaboration with Mastercard and Visa, aims to enhance security and streamline payment processes while reducing fraud. It will be available to FIS bank clients by the end of Q1 2026.

Cloudflare has joined forces with Visa, Mastercard, and American Express to establish payment frameworks for AI agents that autonomously conduct transactions. This collaboration aims to secure the burgeoning “agentic commerce” economy, enabling AI systems to make purchases on behalf of users using programmable money like stablecoins.
