Visa, Mastercard and Ant International agree on how to verify SI agents that pay on behalf of people

SI agents are getting something like a passport for purchases — the world is preparing for programs to pay on our behalf.
The companies presented a shared Know Your Agent framework at the BuildFin.ai forum of the Monetary Authority of Singapore. It links three previously incompatible protocols — Visa Trusted Agent Protocol, Mastercard Verifiable Intent and Ant's Agentic Mobile Protocol — and is built on three principles: tying each agent to a verified operator, common certification requirements and continuous transaction monitoring. By the participants' estimate, agents will process $3–5 trillion of consumer purchases by 2030.
