Visa Agentic Ready is a global program designed to help issuing banks and payment partners prepare for AI agent‑initiated commerce. The program enables participants to:

  • Test agent‑initiated payments in controlled, real‑world environments using live cards and real merchants
  • Validate core payment flows, including card enrollment, tokenization, authentication, and transaction authorization
  • Assess trust, security, and control mechanisms as AI agents take action on behalf of consumers and businesses
  • Identify operational and readiness gaps before agent‑led transactions scale broadly
  • Collaborate with Visa and selected merchants to understand how agent‑initiated transactions behave in practice
  • Prepare for global deployment as agent‑driven commerce expands across markets.
