Mastercard's Approach to Agentic Payments, Identity and Trust [Live]
AI agents are beginning to move beyond recommending products to making purchases on behalf of consumers. But how can a merchant know that an agent is legitimate, acting with permission, and making a purchase its customer actually intended?
In this live conversation, Dennis Gamiello, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Identity at Mastercard, joins Nick Lambert, CEO of Dock Labs, to explore how identity, authorization and trust need to evolve for agentic commerce.
Drawing on Mastercard's work on Verifiable Intent, Know Your Agent (KYA) and its Agent Pay Trust Framework, they'll discuss:
- How merchants and financial institutions can verify AI agents and their authority to act.
- The difference between proving an agent was authorized and proving a purchase reflects the consumer's intent.
- How cryptographic proofs, fraud intelligence and continuous authentication can work together.
- And more!
Join us for a practical discussion about the trust infrastructure needed to make AI-driven payments secure, interoperable and ready for mainstream adoption.
💡 Why Dock Labs is Organizing This Event
At Dock Labs, we're working on making identity and authorization verifiable across organizations, including for AI agents acting on behalf of people and businesses.
As AI agents begin making purchases and interacting with merchants, a fundamental question is emerging: how can a business verify that an agent is legitimate, who it represents, and whether a specific transaction was actually authorized?
Answering that question involves identity, verifiable permissions, proof of consumer intent, and the ability to establish trust across different platforms and organizations.
That's why we're bringing Mastercard into the conversation. We want to explore how one of the world's leading payment networks is approaching these challenges, what it's learning from building trust infrastructure for agentic commerce, and what the industry still needs to solve before AI-driven transactions can become mainstream.
