For more than a decade, Adyen and Google have partnered bringing a shared vision of growth and innovation in payments to life. Today, Adyen is proud to take our relationship a step further as a collaborator on Google’s initiative developing the Agent Payments Protocol, a new open framework that enables AI agents to securely initiate and transact payments.
Agentic commerce is not just about a consumer-facing application like a chatbot, but about the underlying infrastructure that powers it all. Adyen’s infrastructure, with its direct access to global banking and payment networks, makes sure that as agentic commerce evolves, it works seamlessly across payment methods, regions, and customer journeys worldwide.
The Adyen platform is purpose-built for this next chapter of commerce thanks to its focus on the essential building blocks: secure credential management, authentication, and fraud mitigation. On top of this, Adyen’s global risk system- trained on billions of transactions - is designed to meet the new demands of agent-initiated flows, such as mitigating fraud and ensuring better conversion rates for merchants.
By helping define standards like this, we extend our approach to innovation: solving complexity in payments as technology and commerce continue to evolve.
A long-standing relationship continues to evolve
Adyen and Google have been collaborating for over ten years, and our work together has continuously evolved over the years to meet the dynamic demands of global digital commerce. This collaboration extends across a wide spectrum, encompassing payments acceptance for Google's online and in-store products and services, Google Pay, and innovative solutions like Tap to Pay on Android.
“For years, we’ve been working with Adyen to help deliver secure, seamless, and innovative payment experiences to billions of users worldwide,” said Stavan Parikh, VP/GM, Payments, Google. "Their contributions to shape Agent Payments Protocol exemplify the critical cross-industry collaboration needed to build open, secure, and scalable frameworks to enable the future of commerce."
Looking ahead
Adyen embraces customer-led innovation and stays close to the needs of enterprise customers and industry partners to navigate the evolving financial technology landscape. Joining Google and other partners in this open standard and bringing together the needs of merchants and payment ecosystem collaborators deepens its commitment to providing the infrastructure that ensures security and scale without compromising on trust, conversion, or experience.
