Tech Insight: AI agent \'wallet wars\' shift from virtual cards to agent tokens
Terry Angelos, a Visa fintech and crypto senior vice president and former DriveWealth CEO, wrote that helping an AI agent pay is different from letting it transact on a user’s behalf. He said agents are evolving from providing answers to completing tasks, making payment authority a key issue. He warned that wallet and virtual-card setups can break relationships and card benefits, and argued agents need payment policies and clear liability. He pointed to card-network standards using agent tokens as a solution.
