Agentic payments: The next big shift for FIs

Kearney describes agentic payments as a major leap forward in digital commerce — shifting from user-initiated actions to intelligent payments that act on behalf of the customer.

Why this matters for FIs:

  • Transactions become predictive, not reactive
  • Fraud detection becomes anticipatory
  • Customer effort drops while satisfaction rises
  • New value pools emerge through data-driven insights

Agentic payments are not just another upgrade. They represent a structural change in how money flows across digital ecosystems and an opportunity for FIs to redefine their role in the customer journey.
