Finextra·medium signal

Visa and Lianlian DigiTech announced the first live business-to-business agentic transaction completed in China, where an AI agent executed a real commercial payment. Agentic commerce protocols have been demo-stage for months; a live cross-border B2B settlement is a materially different milestone. The regulatory path in China for autonomous payment authorization is the part worth watching, not the transaction itself.
