Mastercard has launched a new payment service called Agent Pay for Machines, targeting AI agents, software platforms, and connected devices. This innovative service allows for transactions using various payment methods, including credit cards, bank accounts, and stablecoins. More than 30 companies, such as Coinbase, OKX, Polygon, RippleX, Stripe, Cloudflare, and the Solana Foundation, have signed on to participate in this initiative. Notably, the platform is capable of processing micropayments, even down to fractions of a cent.
