Who’s Behind the Transaction? Digital Identity, KYA, and the Rise of AI Agents in Payments

Who’s Behind the Transaction?
Digital Identity, KYA, and the Rise of AI Agents in PaymentsAI is shifting from assistive to autonomous and reshaping every layer of commerce, from identity and payments to orchestration and user experience.
As agents begin to act on behalf of consumers and businesses, a critical question emerges: how do we establish trust when the actor is not human?
This is where Know Your Agent (KYA) and next-generation digital identity come in. They move beyond verification to define who can act, under what conditions, and with what accountability.
In this 60 minute virtual session followed by smaller group discussions, we’ll have leaders from the payments, identity and Fintech worlds discussing the things that actually matter right now:
– How identity must evolve for autonomous actors
– How delegated decisions reshape authorization, risk, and compliance
– Who controls agent behavior and when humans step in
– Where the real opportunities and gaps are emerging
