Artificial Intelligence advancements recently fueled by autonomous decision-making systems and productivity enhancements
In the rapidly evolving world of payments, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making significant strides, particularly in the cross-border payments space.
Companies like Stripe, PayPal, Mastercard, Adyen, Alipay, and Worldpay are actively integrating AI technology into their B2B payment processes. The focus is on automating transactions and using agent-based AI protocols to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Notably, PayPal and Google have formed partnerships to drive these innovations, with Google developing agentic AI protocols involving Adyen and Alipay, among others.
One area where AI is making a notable impact is in compliance and risk operations. Rapyd's Arik Shtilman revealed that approximately 95% of the company's operations in this regard are performed by AI, which also expedites client onboarding.
AI is also being utilised for autonomous transactions in the cross-border payments space. Stripe's investments in AI have contributed to its impressive $91bn valuation and have increased revenue for its customers.
Google has launched the Agents Payments Protocol for secure AI-initiated transactions. Major payments partners involved in this protocol include Mastercard, PayPal, Adyen, and Coinbase.
Ecommerce is another sector where AI developments in cross-border payments are currently concentrated. Companies like Stripe, eBay, Amazon, and Alipay are making strides in this area. Stripe, for instance, has launched an AI foundation model for payments to detect fraud and improve performance.
Western Union is also transitioning to an AI-led platform to enhance the customer experience. Meanwhile, Remitly's AI-powered virtual support assistant is improving the efficiency and velocity of customer deliveries.
Payoneer is using AI to drive productivity and predict customer behaviour, with a focus on cross-selling products and services before customer churn. Klarna, another player in the field, has started to "course correct" with a rehiring drive after significantly reducing its workforce. The company is using AI in marketing campaigns and customer support.
FXC's strategic insights may help grow a business, but the article does not provide specific details on how. Meanwhile, firms like Finmatics offer AI-based automated bookkeeping solutions integrated with systems like DATEV, SAP, and Microsoft Business Central, further facilitating AI-driven payment and accounting workflows.
Progress in this area includes significant advancements in automation, security challenges, and enhanced compliance management through AI. The cross-border payments space is undoubtedly on the cusp of a AI-driven revolution.
