PR Newswire (Sunrate)·low signal

Released at WAIC on July 23, the joint white paper 'Beyond Automation: Defining Agentic Global Payments' maps 16 pain points across the B2B payment lifecycle to 13 AI use cases from supplier onboarding through accounts payable, and argues cross-border payments are moving past digitisation and automation into autonomy — agents orchestrating end-to-end payment and treasury workflows within defined governance frameworks. The transferable piece for agent builders is the trust stack it names: Know Your Agent (KYA), payment tokenisation, auditability, and cross-industry interoperability. Sunrate's shipped portfolio is Payment, FX, Compliance, Onboarding, and Chat agents.
