EMVCo Seeks Feedback on Draft Agentic Payments Framework
Emerging payment standards for AI agents signal a maturing agentic commerce ecosystem - relevant to agencies with payment or procurement functions.
Key points
- EMVCo released a draft agentic payments framework on 1 September, open for public feedback until 30 September 2026.
- The proposed Intent Services layer would standardise how AI agents record and share consumer-authorised payment intent across participants.
- This is a consultation document, not a binding standard; limited direct relevance to APS agencies unless they handle payment systems.
Implications for Australian agencies
- Monitor Agencies with payment, procurement, or digital services functions may want to monitor EMVCo's specification development as agentic commerce standards mature.
Implications are AI-generated. Starting points, not advice — see methodology for how they're framed.

EMVCo has released a draft framework for secure, interoperable card-based agentic payments, with public feedback open through 30 September 2026. The framework proposes an Intent Services layer - a shared, interoperable coordination point for registering and managing consumer-authorised AI-agent transactions across recurring purchases, spending budgets, and post-transaction activity. EMVCo is collaborating with FIDO Alliance, OpenID Foundation, and W3C, with potential future implications for 3-D Secure, payment tokenisation, and Digital Payment Credentials. The document is a consultation step, not a deployed standard or production mandate.
Implications for Australian agencies:
- [Monitor] Agencies with payment, procurement, or digital services functions may want to monitor EMVCo's specification development as agentic commerce standards mature.
