When the Agent Pays:
Identity, Trust and Fraud in Agent-Initiated Payments
Tuesday, 06 October, 2026
WHY ATTEND
As AI agents start making payments on behalf of users, two questions that used to be handled separately (who is this agent? and should this transaction go through?) now collapse into a single decision made in milliseconds at authorisation.
This webinar brings together a stablecoin rail, a card network, a programme manager and an issuer-processor to tackle both questions at once, from four perspectives on the same payment flow: how identity travels with a wallet, what tokenisation and scheme liability rules mean for agent credentials, what onboarding and chargebacks look like in practice, and where any of it is actually enforced.
The session is built around the point of authorisation rather than around the technology. Panellists work through the same set of questions from their own seat, so issuers leave with a view of where the decisions get made and who carries the loss when they go wrong.
KEY TAKE-AWAYS
-
Identity and fraud are one authorisation decision, not two separate workstreams:
Knowing the agent (KYA) and stopping the bad transaction have been treated as separate programmes of work. In an agent-initiated payment they resolve into a single call at the point of spend, which changes how issuers need to build for both.
-
Settlement finality with stablecoins rewrites the fraud-liability model:
There is no chargeback to fall back on. Card payments can be reversed, stablecoin ones cannot, and that single difference reshapes where liability sits, what controls have to catch, and what "too late" means.
-
The rail, the network and the programme operator each see a different failure mode:
No single seat has the full picture, which is why all three are in the room. Issuers leave with a concrete, claims-safe list of what to fix now, before agent payments reach any kind of scale.
