The payments industry’s embrace of agentic commerce took a step forward early Tuesday with an announcement from EMVCo that the standards body has developed a framework for “secure, interoperable, and scalable” agentic transactions using cards.
The framework is by no means a final set of rules, but is intended as “a foundation for further industry engagement and potential specification development,” says EMVCo, which is inviting feedback “from all interested stakeholders” by Sept. 30. The draft the group has developed is called “EMV Agentic Payments—Framework for Specifications.”
