## Source summary

PaymentsJournal reports that a bank consortium including Bank of America, Capital One, NatWest and ING has begun outlining safeguards for agentic commerce. The cited report raises risks such as unintended purchases, spending beyond authorization, fraud and privacy exposure, and says the group plans to discuss proposals with regulators. It does not establish a binding standard, rule or production payment system.

## Why it matters

For agentic payments, the group’s unresolved questions—how customer intent is verified, how an agent’s authority is limited, and who bears responsibility—are directly relevant to authorization and dispute controls. These are industry proposals discussed in a report, not adopted requirements or evidence of customer deployment.
