Case Study: Visa achieves secure agentic payments with Very Good Security

Visa powers card transaction support in Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) with Very Good Security

Very Good Security partnered with Visa to address the challenge of securely enabling AI agents to make payments without exposing them to raw, sensitive card data. This was critical for the adoption of new agentic payment specifications like Visa's own Intelligent Commerce.

The solution implemented by Very Good Security was its role as the Client Enabler and Token Service Provider for the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP). VGS securely vaulted and tokenized card details, allowing AI agents to orchestrate payments using encrypted tokens instead of raw data. This provided the highest level of security, descoped agents from PCI compliance, and ensured Visa could utilize its preferred payment method securely within the new ecosystem.
