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.

◆ 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.
