Peach Payments in Payspace Magazine: Peach Payments CISO: Agentic Commerce Needs Controls to Match $5 Trillion Opportunity

Payment security has spent two decades treating automated traffic as a threat to be filtered out. Agentic commerce is reversing that logic. Visa has enrolled local banks in its Agentic Ready programme, Mastercard has launched Agent Pay, and OpenAI has integrated Instant Checkout with Stripe. In March 2026, Mastercard and Google open-sourced a protocol called Verifiable Intent. Behind each launch sits the same idea: an AI agent transacts on a customer’s behalf, and the payment completes without further human input.
