Agentic Payments: An Industry Approach to Liability and Authority
Overview
AI agents are rapidly transforming how consumers interact with payments and commerce, but who is responsible when things go wrong? As autonomous systems gain the ability to independently research, plan, and execute transactions on behalf of consumers, the payments ecosystem faces pressing questions about verification, authority, and liability that existing frameworks were not fully designed to answer.
Join the Coalition for Financial Ecosystem Standards (CFES) and Meta for a live discussion of our new white paper, "Agentic Payments: An Industry Approach to Liability and Authority," which lays out a proactive, industry-led framework for governing agentic payment transactions.
In this webinar, we will cover:
• How common-law principal-agent concepts apply to AI-driven payment flows
• Practical approaches to verifying agent identity and consumer authorization
• How intent mandates and tokenized credentials can define an agent's scope of authority
• Liability frameworks under Regulation E and Regulation Z in agentic contexts
• How the industry can get ahead of fragmented or rigid regulatory intervention
This is a conversation for payments professionals, fintech innovators, financial institutions, legal and compliance teams, and policymakers who want to shape the guardrails for tomorrow's financial tools before the rules are written for them.
