Mastercard AI transaction probability score for agent payments

Mastercard will score how likely it is that an AI agent started a card payment. What it means for shoppers.

Agents pay in Denmark, Canada and the UK; Fed and EBA stablecoin moves; Revolut's face-pay pilot; the FTC on scam ads.

Six banks set five voluntary principles for AI shopping agents on payments, security, and consumer control.

Visa, Mastercard and Ant International will build common rules for identifying AI agents that make payments.
