Visa and Revolut execute first passkey-authenticated agentic card payment
Revolut and Visa completed the first passkey-based agentic card payment in France. Passkeys replace passwords; agentic payment means the transaction was initiated autonomously by an AI agent rather than manual approval.
WHY IT MATTERS
Proves passkey+agentic combo works in production EU environment. Sets template for other fintech-acquirer partnerships. Friction reduction could unlock high-velocity merchant use cases (subscriptions, recurring B2B settlements).
