"Agentic commerce is the new frontier where AI agents execute e-commerce transactions on behalf of consumers demanding payment rails optimized for speed security and cost. Instant payments are uniquely positioned to power agentic commerce by providing the speed, finality, and rich data reconciliation that machine-native API-driven transactions require. Markets like India, Brazil, and Thailand have shown the scale instant payments can achieve with the right regulatory clarity and incentive design, and agentic commerce gives other markets a fresh reason to close the gap."
