Mastercard Launches AI Agent Payments After Coinbase Pilot

Mastercard has opened early access to Agent Pay for Machines following pilots with Coinbase, Base, and Cloudflare, signaling a new push into AI driven payments.

Mastercard's early access raises a bigger question for the payments industry: when an AI agent initiates a transaction, who holds responsibility if it errs, the person who deployed the agent, the company that built it, or the network that processed the charge? How that gets answered may shape how fast agentic payments move from pilots into everyday use.
