AI agents are beginning to shop, compare products, and make purchases on behalf of users—a shift often referred to as agentic commerce.

But a key question remains unanswered: who is liable when an AI agent makes a purchase?

With tools like ChatGPT’s Instant Checkout and Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol emerging, regulatory frameworks haven’t yet caught up with autonomous transactions. That leaves open questions around consumer protection, merchant liability, and platform responsibility.

As AI-driven commerce expands, clear standards and governance frameworks will be critical.

⚠️ ATM Settlement Variation Creates Risk — Help Us Fix It

ATM settlement processes today vary widely depending on the ATM manufacturer, software, and servicing provider. These inconsistencies can create operational risk, increase costs, and impact service quality.

ASC X9’s X9.155 project is bringing the industry together to develop a standardized ATM settlement sequence and receipt format—creating a more consistent and reliable servicing model.

The result?

🔹 Reduced operational and financial risk
🔹 Improved vault and ledger balancing
🔹 Lower servicing costs
🔹 More consistent service across ATM networks

We are actively recruiting experts from banks, armored carriers, ATM manufacturers, and software providers.

Lloyds Banking Group is putting real numbers behind AI adoption.

The bank reported that its use of generative AI delivered £50 million in value in 2025, with expectations to double that in 2026. From launching an in-app financial assistant to creating an internal AI Academy, Lloyds is scaling AI across its organization.

This is a powerful example of how financial institutions are moving beyond experimentation—and why industry collaboration and standards are becoming increasingly important.
