Worldpay is partnering with Trulioo to introduce new safeguards for AI-powered agent-led commerce. At the core of this collaborative effort is the Know Your Agent (KYA) framework, powered by a Digital Agent Passport. This tamper-proof credential bundle will enable merchants to assess whether an AI agent is legitimate, authorized and acting with proper consent. The KYA framework will lay out structured guidelines for verification of the developer’s identity, code integrity, user consent and the ongoing trustworthiness of the agent in real time. Worldpay will empower merchants to leverage the KYA framework, enabling them to trust shopping agents by validating consumer intent and the authority granted to those agents. This innovation can help merchants grow sales while safeguarding against fraud and unauthorized purchases. The collaboration will help merchants and platforms unlock new experiences, from smarter checkout flows to real-time fraud detection, without sacrificing safety or visibility. Instead of blocking AI agents by default, the partnership will introduce smart controls where verified agents gain access, unknown agents encounter friction, and malicious bots are blocked. This approach will deliver measurable benefits across the entire ecosystem, including reduced fraud, smarter agent detection, and improved checkout conversion for merchants. Consumers will gain confidence that their AI assistants are acting with proper permission, while the broader commerce landscape will benefit from a shared, interoperable layer of trust that supports ongoing innovation and meets regulatory and evolving risk standards.
