Vaults are going multiplayer. 👀 A credential vault becomes more valuable when multiple platforms can connect to it. The same idea applies to digital wallets in agentic commerce: As more agents help consumers shop and pay, how they access their payment credentials becomes increasingly important. VGS's Chief Strategy Officer Terry Angelos recently sat down with Timothy E. Chiodo, CFA, and the UBS Research Team to discuss what this shift means for agentic commerce - and why connecting agents to payment credentials matters. Watch the clip below. 👇 Learn more about what VGS is doing to support agentic commerce 👉 https://lnkd.in/gwr-THTQ #AgenticCommerce #Payments #AI #VGS

ICYMI, Cameron Emanuel-Burns at FinTech Futures did a fantastic write-up of day 1 at Money2020 that included a recap of the session, "Know Your Agent: Here's How Banks Are Updating Identity Verification," where VGS's Chuck Yu, PayOS's Johnathan M., firmly's Kumar N Senthil, and Skyfire's Amir Sarhangi discussed the frameworks and protocols being built to ensure agentic transactions are secure and truly acting on behalf of the consumers using them. As Cameron Emanuel-Burns recaps in his article, Chuck Yu, CEO of VGS, stated that while the financial services industry began reacting to the "agentic presence" around 18 months ago, it is only in the last couple of months that banks have fully awoken to the challenge. Amir Sarhangi, CEO and founder of Skyfire, added that institutions are still "trying to figure out what their strategy should be". Chuck closed the session by speaking to the most important thing to "get right" for agentic commerce to be successful: confidence by all the subsequent parties involved in an agentic transaction that the purchase is not being made by a bad actor; something that starts with the handshake, that is, the user giving their card credential to an agent. ➡️ Read the full article by Fintech Futures: https://lnkd.in/gES7FZwj 🔗 Learn more about how VGS is enabling secure agentic commerce transactions: https://lnkd.in/gZdCBKun #VGS #Money2020 #Money200USA #AgenticCommerce

Great clip from Terry Angelos’s conversation with Alastair (Alex) Rampell around the intermediate solve that is virtual card issuance during an agentic transaction, and how this presents very real challenges for consumers and merchants when it comes to chargeback remediation. VGS is helping solve this problem as the leading agentic tokens distributor; we provision millions per week. This value-added service allows merchants to retain insight into the payment credentials used by the consumer in an agentic transaction. There are still many unanswered questions when it comes to enabling agents to pay on behalf of consumers. VGS’s trusted digital and agentic commerce infrastructure is helping answer them.
