Ant International, Mastercard and Visa Initiate Collaboration on Know-Your-Agent Interoperability to Scale Agentic Commerce
Visa, Mastercard and Ant International have begun collaborating on a Know-Your-Agent (KYA) interoperability framework to standardize agent identity and trust checks across card networks, wallets, agent platforms and marketplaces. Each already runs its own agentic-payment protocol — Visa's Trusted Agent Protocol, Mastercard Verifiable Intent and Ant's Agentic Mobile Protocol — and the group will pursue common principles covering cross-network operator traceability, shared certification requirements and continuous transaction monitoring.
