Mastercard Advances Agentic Commerce With New Trust and Intelligence Services<\/b><\/p>\n

Advanced insights enable financial institutions and merchants to drive greater adoption of secure, agent-led commerce for consumers<\/i><\/p>\n

PHOENIX–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nToday, Mastercard announced an expansion of Agent Pay<\/a>, its agentic payments program, with new trust and intelligence services that provide greater context for AI-initiated transactions. By bringing together identity, intent, behavioral and fraud insights, the services give financial institutions and merchants a clearer, shared understanding of AI-driven activity \u2013 enabling smarter authorization decisions, less unnecessary friction and more seamless experiences for consumers.<\/p>\n

\nThese new services form the intelligence layer of Mastercard’s Agent Pay Trust Framework<\/a>, which brings together identity, intent, controls, execution and intelligence to establish trust across agentic commerce.<\/p>\n

The next era of commerce requires more context behind every payment
\n
<\/b>Agentic commerce is moving into the mainstream, with one in 10<\/a> consumers projected to routinely use agents to make purchases by 2030. As agentic commerce grows, banks and merchants need to understand when an agent is involved, what it has been asked to do and whether the activity is legitimate. At the same time, consumers expect every transaction to be secure, no matter how they choose to pay or which agents they use.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAI agents will make commerce more intuitive, efficient and personal \u2013 but only if people and businesses can trust the systems acting on their behalf,\u201d said Ann Johnson, executive vice president, Security Solutions at Mastercard. \u201cBy adding new agentic intelligence and risk insights to each transaction, we are giving people the confidence to say \u2018yes,\u2019 however they choose to pay.\u201d<\/p>\n

A probability score identifies AI-initiated transactions
\n
<\/b>The first service, rolling out for testing in the U.S., is a probability score indicating the likelihood that a transaction was initiated by an AI agent \u2013 giving issuers the confidence to approve legitimate agent-led purchases. Over time, Mastercard will strengthen this score with more intelligence related to behavior, merchant risk, transaction patterns, credential risk and consumer propensity, providing an even clearer picture of AI-driven activity across the transaction lifecycle.<\/p>\n

A shared intelligence layer provides more context around AI-led purchases
\n
<\/b>Beyond the probability score, the new agentic trust and intelligence signals give ecosystem participants a common understanding of what is happening behind a purchase by answering the following questions:<\/p>\n
