- Excited to build on our @Mastercard principal membership and partner on Agent Pay for Machines. Payments made by machines will be far more frequent and far smaller than today's systems were designed for. This is another step in expanding support for the agentic future.

- Introducing the Agent Control Layer. Set exactly where, when, and how much AI agents can spend. Scoped cards for approved merchants. Money movement to approved recipients. Infrastructure-level controls for agentic payments.
- The teams defining the future of payments, commerce, and financial innovation are gathering in San Francisco for the @Visa Payment Forum, June 9–11, and Rain will be right there with them. If you're attending, reach out to schedule time with our team.
