Visa, BILL and Billtrust Put AI Agents to Work Paying Supplier Invoices in Live Pilot
The pilot lets authorized AI agents handle invoice payments end to end while preserving buyer controls and supplier acceptance policies.
- On Tuesday, Visa, BILL, and Billtrust launched a live pilot enabling trusted AI agents to initiate and complete approved buyer invoice payments end-to-end through supplier portals, marking the first live pilot of its kind.
- Manual invoice processing has long created friction for finance teams, as employees often must log into supplier portals to manually submit payment data; the pilot addresses this final manual step in accounts payable workflows.
- The system utilizes the Visa Trusted Agent Protocol to authenticate AI agents, issuing tokenized payment credentials instead of shared supplier-portal logins while agents operate within buyer-defined controls and approved payment instructions.
- Automating the payment process aims to accelerate cash flow for suppliers and allow finance teams to reclaim time previously spent on manual data entry, while maintaining supplier oversight and visibility throughout the transaction.
- Visa, BILL, and Billtrust plan to continue exploring agentic commerce opportunities as the pilot progresses, though the companies have not disclosed specific transaction volumes or a timeline for broader market availability.
