Nuvei today announced its support for the start of the Reliable Agent Protocol, a new framework developed by Visa that allows traders to recognize and trace with reliable AI agents.
By collaborating with Visa as a strategic partner, Nuvei reinforces its commitment to promoting Agentic Commerce and helping to determine the role of world buyers in this next era of digital payments.
The Reliable Agent Protocol, introduced today by Visa, is part of the Intelligent Commerce Visa (VIC), a global context designed to help traders safely deal with consumer -acting agents. Built with open standards, including HTTP (RFC 9421) signatures, the protocol allows traders to distinguish the legal activity of the agents from malicious automation, requiring minimal changes to existing payment flows.
Through its collaboration with Visa, Nuvei contributes to the Enable Enable Enabler pilot and helping to ensure that buyers can safely support the transactions with the view to reliable agents. This project represents a step forward in the evolution of buyers’ role to meet the demands of intelligent trade, where digital agents are increasingly looking for, compare and pay on behalf of consumers.
Nuvei’s integrated payment ecosystem, aligned with Visa’s Intelligent Commerce, has been designed to help traders adopt seamless payments with agents, move beyond the payment models dependent on human interaction or virtual card numbers.
“Agentic Commerce represents a fundamental shift to how digital payments will evolve,” said Phil Fayer, Nuvei’s chairman and chief executive. “By supporting the start of the credible agent protocol, we help the traders to prepare for this transformation with confidence, with solutions that are safe, seamless and designed to escalate globally.”
“In Visa, we are committed to shaping the future of the trade agency with partners throughout the ecosystem,” said Rubail Birwadker, a world leader of Development Products and Strategic Relations, Visa. “Support from Nuvei shows that important buyers will play to allow traders to trust and deal with AI agents who act on behalf of consumers.”
