Clink lets AI agents pay on Visa and Mastercard networks
Clink says that agents on its platform pay with tokens, not card numbers, and the user sets the spending caps.
Clink, a company that gives payments for AI agents, added Mastercard Agent Pay. It had Visa Intelligent Commerce. Agents on its platform can pay on the 2 large card networks. Clink says that it is for developers who make agents that pay for items for users. The company gave no numbers on use and no test results.
How it works
Agents pay with tokenised credentials. A token is a code that replaces the card number. Clink says that users set spending caps and rules. Each payment connects to the user who approved it. Developers use one integration for the 2 networks.
The numbers
Clink gave no numbers. Mastercard started Agent Pay in April 2025. Visa started Visa Intelligent Commerce in the same month. In June 2026, Visa said that Visa Intelligent Commerce works in OpenAI experiences.
What is not known
Clink gave no price and no names of customers. The source does not say who pays when an agent pays for an incorrect item.
Insight: Card networks race to be the first path for agent payments
In June 2026, Visa put its tool in OpenAI experiences. On 3 November 2026, Mastercard said it has an agreement with OpenAI. Clink works with the 2 networks. This reads as a race to be the first path for agent payments. Clink lets developers stay neutral. Chargebacks911 sells a tool for agent chargebacks, but the source does not say who pays for disputes.
