Santander and Mastercard completed a live AI-driven payment in Spain, marking progress toward autonomous shopping via secure, regulated technology.
Santander and Mastercard have successfully completed a live AI-initiated payment in Spain, using Mastercard’s Agent Pay technology to purchase a T-shirt through Santander’s payment system.
The test, conducted in a controlled environment, demonstrated AI’s ability to securely and transparently execute transactions using existing payment networks while upholding privacy, security, and consumer protection standards.
The transaction is not yet available commercially but marks a key step toward "agentic" AI systems that could autonomously handle purchases based on user preferences and rewards.
Both companies plan to expand testing and scaling while ensuring regulatory compliance and system resilience.
