Corpay Built a Payment Card That AI Agents Can Issue Themselves

Corpay announced Agent Card on July 28, 2026, a capability that allows AI agents to generate virtual payment cards for business transactions on behalf of the organizations they serve, within spending controls that remain defined and enforced by the business rather than the agent.

The emerging challenge in agentic commerce is not whether AI agents can initiate purchases, technically they can, but whether businesses can maintain the authorization, visibility, and governance over those purchases that corporate spending policy requires, according to the press release. Agent Card is built specifically to address that gap.

According to Corpay, each virtual card the agent generates is scoped to a specific purpose so the agent acts within an authorized boundary rather than with open purchasing authority.

"Agentic commerce is creating a new frontier for business payments," said Danny Martucci, President and GM of Commercial Card at Corpay. "With Agent Card, Corpay is enabling trusted AI agents to initiate secure, controlled payment workflows using the same principles that make virtual cards such a powerful tool for businesses today: authorization, control, visibility, and security."
