Banks and payment providers in Asia are establishing the first industry working group to set standards for autonomous AI agent payments, addressing unresolved liability, authentication, and fraud detection gaps as AI systems execute millions of transactions independently.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

The Wire takeaway

If you're building AI agents that move money or settle transactions, the liability question that kills your deal is now being answered by banks themselves - get in front of EPAA's working group before the standards lock and your product becomes non-compliant.
