Agentic payments are coming to UPI

Interesting:

India is ​preparing a framework that would let AI agents make small digital payments without approval for every ‌transaction, three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially making UPI one of the world’s largest networks with agentic payments.

While leading payment companies have launched such frameworks in the U.S., Europe, Singapore and Australia, a rollout on the popular Unified Payments Interface would ​also put India among the first countries to have a national infrastructure for agentic AI payments.

My thoughts on the topic:
