"The fintech giant has unveiled a new strategic direction for Revolut Pay, announcing plans to make its one-tap checkout work seamlessly across all agentic commerce platforms in the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA). At the heart of the move is Revolut Pay's compatibility with Google's Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), positioning the company early in a fast-moving mix of payments and artificial intelligence."
"Revolut's announcement comes as agentic commerce gains momentum globally. Payment providers, card networks, and technology firms are racing to build the infrastructure that allows AI systems to initiate and manage payments securely. Industry efforts range from new agent-focused payment protocols to large-scale pilots in markets such as China and India, where conversational and AI-assisted payments are already being tested in real-world environments. At the same time, European players are exploring how AI can support smarter checkout flows, enhanced fraud controls, and more efficient payment orchestration for merchants."
Revolut plans to expand Revolut Pay as a one-tap checkout across agentic commerce platforms in the UK and EEA by adopting Google's Agent Payments Protocol (AP2). AP2 enables consent-based, agent-led transactions without routing users through traditional checkout pages. Revolut adapted payment flows for account-to-account payments and described the work as foundational for making Revolut Pay a core payment rail for conversational and automated commerce. The move places Revolut early in the convergence of payments and AI. Industry players are building infrastructure and running pilots in markets like China and India, while European firms explore smarter checkouts, fraud controls and payment orchestration. The rise of agent-led shopping raises questions about security, privacy and fraud controls.
