Who Owns the Moment an Agent Decides to Pay?
Add to calendar

About This Session
Your next customer won't be human. AI agents are becoming first-class transactors — browsing, deciding and paying with no person in the loop. When software initiates the payment, the contest shifts from the rail to the moment of intent: who owns it — the wallet, the platform, the merchant, or the agent's operator? What does an agent need before it can spend: identity, mandate, limits, recourse? Why do stablecoins and programmable money fit machine-initiated commerce better than card rails built for humans? And when an agent pays the wrong party on the wrong instruction, who is liable? The checkout is being rebuilt for machines. This session is about who gets to own it.

Beyond Payments: Own the Journey, Not the Fleet - Powered by Elife
Frontier StageHall 6, Singapore EXPOPremium
About this session
A hotel concierge earns trust by arranging the journey, not owning the car. This session asks what banks and wallets can learn from that model. Through examples from super-apps, digital banks and behaviour-based rewards programmes, it explores how embedded mobility can drive revenue and loyalty. Participants will leave with a practical framework for testing the economics and safeguarding trust when partners deliver the service.

Trade is Fragmenting, Treasury Shouldn’t - Powered by OCBC
Ignite StageHall 5, Singapore EXPOOpen
About this session
As supply chains shift and trade corridors evolve, companies expanding across Greater China and ASEAN face increasing complexity in liquidity, payments, FX and treasury management. This session explores how banks can help corporates navigate fragmented markets through connected financial infrastructure, enabling treasury teams to operate seamlessly across borders while focusing on business growth rather than operational complexity.
