AI Agents Will Move Money. The Infrastructure Isn't Ready. In Q1 2026, Stripe launched the Machine Payments Protocol. Mastercard shipped Agent Pay with agentic tokens. Visa announced Intelligent Commerce. Cloudflare deployed Web Bot Auth for agent-initiated transactions. FedNow crossed $245B in quarterly volume with 49,000% year-over-year growth. The message is clear: AI agents are entering the payment system. Not as assistants that help humans pay, but as autonomous actors that initiate, authorise, and execute financial transactions without a human in the loop.
