Mastercard bets on “agentic commerce” as AI shopping expands
Mastercard CEO says the company is preparing for a shift in how transactions may be initiated, framing AI as a catalyst rather than a threat to cards.
MarketWatch reports that Mastercard is positioning itself for “agentic commerce,” as payment technology adjusts to how artificial intelligence could change shopping and transaction flows.
In an interview context, the outlet highlights the company’s stance that AI-enabled purchasing will not eliminate traditional card payments, with Mastercard’s CEO describing cards as something the payments network expects to keep “prevailing” in the new era.
The article frames Mastercard’s strategy as adapting its role in the evolving commerce stack, aligning with expectations that AI-driven buying could become more widespread.
