Alipay, GCash and TNG eWallet are among 10 digital wallets joining the first phase of Ant International’s Agentic Mobile Protocol (AMP) rollout.
The technology enables artificial intelligence agents to make authorised payments through wallets, super apps and smart devices.
AlipayHK, DANA, KakaoPay, MPay, TrueMoney, Toss and Singapore-based Starryblu are also participating.
Together, the 10 wallets serve around 1.5 billion user accounts and will support AMP within their agent security systems.
Adyen, Allinpay, Checkout.com, Fiserv, Global Payments, Nuvei and Worldline have joined as acquiring partners.

“AMP has been created to enable agents to enter existing mobile payment systems as trusted actors.
We are inspired to see how, a few months into its launch, more and more wallets and payment partners are accelerating their AI strategy by bringing this exciting capability to users in the real world,”
said Jiang-Ming Yang, Chief Innovation Officer at Ant International.
AI Agents Get Defined Payment Permissions
Launched in April 2026, AMP is designed to let AI agents complete transactions without requiring users to switch apps or change how they pay.
Users can authorise an agent to perform a specific task without giving it full access to their accounts.
Digital identities and trust ratings determine what each agent can do.
Ant International claims the protocol can halve the steps needed to connect an AI agent to a wallet.
It also includes protection for merchants against certain risks linked to agent-led transactions.
Mastercard and Visa Join Identity Effort
Ant International is also working with Mastercard and Visa on a Know Your Agent interoperability framework.
The initiative seeks to establish shared principles for onboarding and identifying AI agents across card networks, digital wallets, marketplaces and agent platforms.
Each network will retain its own verification and decision-making processes.
The three companies will also work through the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s BuildFin.ai platform on agent verification, accountability and risk management.
Ant International has made AMP’s source code, developer kits and technical documentation available on GitHub.
This allows payment providers, financial institutions and AI platforms to develop and test integrations.
Ant International’s Agentic Mobile Protocol will reach 1.5 billion users through its first-phase wallet partners.
