Ant International said on September 11, 2026 that its Agentic Mobile Protocol, launched in April 2026, is moving into a live Phase I across the Alipay+ network. Ten wallets that together serve 1.5 billion accounts will support AMP in their agent security stacks: Alipay, AlipayHK, DANA, GCash, KakaoPay, MPay, TNG eWallet, TrueMoney, Toss, and Starryblu. Seven acquirers are in the first wave: Adyen, Allinpay, Checkout.com, Fiserv, Global Payments, Nuvei, and Worldline.

AMP is an open payment protocol for wallets, super apps, and devices so an AI agent can complete a QR, tap, or card payment without the user switching apps. Ant International said Alipay+ already ties more than 50 mobile payment partners and over 10 national QR schemes to 150 million merchants and 2 billion consumer accounts. The company also said AMP is now open-sourced on GitHub, with SDKs and documentation for wallets, acquirers, and agent platforms.

The same release starts a Know-Your-Agent interoperability project with Mastercard and Visa. The idea is shared principles for onboarding and identifying agents across card networks, wallets, and marketplaces, while each network keeps its own verification and decisioning. The work sits on Ant’s Safeguards for Agentic Finance at Runtime (SAFR) framework and will run through BuildFin.ai, an industry platform convened by the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

Jiang-Ming Yang, chief innovation officer, said AMP is meant to let agents enter existing mobile rails as trusted actors rather than as a new checkout app. Features listed in the release include cutting the steps to link a payment agent to a wallet by 50 percent, user permission boundaries that authorize a task rather than the whole account, an Agent Trust Rating that caps autonomy, AgentSafePay merchant protection against agent-specific fraud, and agent-to-agent settlement down to $0.000001.

“The promise of agentic commerce relies on open, interoperable systems that allow trusted agents to move seamlessly across networks.” Adyen, in the Ant International release

Decoded Take

Wallet logos and a MAS convening do not yet equal an agent paying for a ride in Jakarta. What is new is Visa and Mastercard sitting on the same KYA paper as Alipay+, which is the only path to agents that can leave a super-app garden and still clear on cards. Open-sourcing AMP is the right political move in Singapore. The commercial test is whether Adyen or Worldline shows a live merchant accepting an AMP payment, and whether AgentSafePay ever pays a claim. If Phase I stays a partner list through the holidays, this is protocol marketing. If a named wallet ships agent checkout with a published KYA check, the card networks will have to decide whether they are partners or a toll booth.
