Visa launched Visa Agentic Ready to prepare the financial ecosystem for AI agents conducting consumer transactions. The global program debuts first in Europe and the UK.
The initiative is a core component of Visa Intelligent Commerce, the company's broader strategy for AI-driven trade.
The initial phase focuses on issuer readiness. Partners will use a new framework to test and validate AI-initiated transactions.
Tier 1 financial institutions and neobanks have joined the pilot program. Participants will test the security of AI-driven payments within Visa's existing network infrastructure.
