Mitihoon – Thailand, 30 April 2026 – Visa, a global leader in digital payments, today announced the launch of its global Agentic Ready program in Asia Pacific. Visa Agentic Ready is designed to support the payments ecosystem in the era of agent-led commerce.
In its first phase, Visa Agentic Ready focuses on issuer readiness, providing a structured pathway for issuers to test, validate and understand agent-initiated transactions in a controlled, production-grade environment. The program enables issuers to experience how AI agents initiate complete transactions on behalf of consumers, and to test their readiness to support agentic commerce, while maintaining the trust, control, and protections that underpin the Visa network.
“Thailand’s payments ecosystem is moving quickly towards more intelligent and automated commerce, while continuing to place strong emphasis on trust, governance and consumer protection,” said Anthony Watson, Country Manager for Thailand at Visa.
“Visa Agentic Ready is designed to help issuers practically assess what agent-initiated transactions mean for their systems, risk frameworks and customer controls, before these experiences scale. By providing a controlled, production grade environment, we are supporting Thai issuers in building readiness and confidence, so innovation can progress responsibly and in line with market expectations.”
Agentic Ready is powered by Visa’s foundational network capabilities, bringing together tokens, identity, risk and controls to examine how trusted agent‑initiated payments could be enabled across use cases. This builds on Visa Intelligent Commerce, Visa’s portfolio of initiatives and solutions focused on enabling trusted, AI-driven commerce experiences at scale.
From Readiness to Real‑World Scale
Bringing agentic commerce to life at scale requires coordination across the payments ecosystem, and Visa has enrolled several partners from 10 markets across the region into the Agentic Ready program. Early issuing partners engaging in the Visa Agentic Ready program include:
AEON Thana Sinsap, KASIKORNBANK (KBank), Krungthai Card (KTC), and TMBThanachart Bank (ttb), with additional partners expected to join this year.
Through the controlled, production-grade testing environment, the program validates how agent-initiated payments operate in real world environments, helping issuers build confidence as these new experiences become a reality.
This effort supports Visa’s broader shift towards intelligent, programmable commerce, where trusted credentials and network capabilities enable payments to respond securely and flexibly to consumer intent, context and controls. As more of the shopping journey becomes automated, this helps ensure agents can act seamlessly on a consumer’s behalf, while keeping people firmly in control.
Visa is working globally with AI platforms and developers, merchants, and ecosystem partners to enable trusted agent-initiated payments at scale. Visa Agentic Ready helps ensure issuers are prepared to support these transactions securely and with confidence.
The program is live and available across Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam in Asia Pacific. Those interested in participating in the Visa Agentic Ready program can contact their Visa account executive for more information.
