AI agents can already shop, compare prices, and check out for you — but would you actually trust one with your credit card?

In this episode of This Month in Fintech host Sasha Pilch sits down with Kathleen Peters, Chief Innovation Officer at Experian, to explore the trust layer behind agentic commerce. From the shift from KYC to KYA (“Know Your Agent”) to Experian Agent Trust and digital identity tokens, they unpack how AI-driven payments could become safer for consumers, merchants, and the broader financial ecosystem.

They also dive into fraud prevention, open standards, Cloudflare, Visa, stablecoins, and what trustworthy agentic transactions could look like in the real world.
