Mastercard is helping shape the future of AI-powered payments and setting the foundation for trusted agentic transaction standards
All U.S. cardholders will be able to experience agentic commerce before the holiday season, with a global rollout to follow
PURCHASE, N.Y.: Mastercard is advancing AI-powered payments with new tools for developers, expanded consulting services and deeper collaboration across the global tech and finance ecosystem. These efforts are laying the foundation for smarter, more secure shopping experiences using artificial intelligence and intelligent agents as the company is helping to set the standards for how AI can securely and confidently handle payments.
Building the future of AI shopping
Mastercard is working with AI and commerce leaders including Stripe, Google and Ant International’s Antom to make secure agentic transactions accessible and scalable for digital merchants and platforms globally. By the holiday season, all U.S. Mastercard cardholders will be enabled for the Mastercard Agent Pay program, with global rollout to follow shortly thereafter. Ahead of this, Citi and U.S. Bank Mastercard cardholders will be the first to have the opportunity to experience AI-enabled shopping as agentic commerce providers and enablers like PayOS and other industry players go live.
New tools to accelerate adoption
Separately, to help developers and businesses get started quickly, Mastercard is launching:
Setting industry standards for the future of payments
Mastercard is leveraging its expertise in shaping global, interoperable digital payments standards – including contactless and tokenization – to help define how payments should operate in agentic environments. Together with the FIDO Alliance and its Payments Working Group, Mastercard and other industry leaders are developing a verifiable credential standard for payments that confirms payment details such as amount, merchant and product. This ensures that everyone involved in a transaction can experience confidence that it was approved by the shopper, paving the way for a more secure, seamless and trusted foundation for agentic payments.
Laying the foundation for agentic experiences
“AI-powered payments aren’t just a trend — they’re a transformation,” said Craig Vosburg, chief services officer at Mastercard. “Payments must be native to the agentic experience. We’re building the infrastructure for a new generation of intelligent transactions, where consumers and developers can empower AI agents to act on their behalf with trust, transparency and precision."
“We’re working with partners across the ecosystem to build the standards and tools that will define agentic commerce,” said Jorn Lambert, chief product officer at Mastercard. “We’re committed to enabling a trusted environment for AI-powered payments to scale globally.”
Mastercard’s infrastructure and standards are designed to support trusted real-world agentic transactions today and are ready to scale as more people and businesses adopt them.
