Alchemy and AgentCard AI enable Mastercard payments for AI agents
Alchemy is partnering with AgentCard AI and Mastercard so AI agents get an identity, a wallet, and one-time-use Mastercard credentials to buy products online on their users' behalf, anywhere Mastercard is accepted. Users set spending limits and let the agent purchase autonomously, with the first agent provisionable in under a minute via AgentCard.
AgentCard has now rolled out a big upgrade: agents can use a user's actual Mastercard with spend controls and audibility. Alchemy co-founder and CEO Nikil Viswanathan announced the upgrade, noting the partnership with Mastercard and pointing to a WSJ piece — Alchemy reposted the announcement on its X account.
- Mastercard says the collaboration supports its Agent Pay and Verifiable Intent work toward trusted agentic commerce
- Alchemy's framing positions agent purchasing as replacing the checkout button
