Thredd joins Visa's Agentic Ready programme

This partnership makes it easier for retailers and lenders to offer high-tech, automated payment experiences. Thredd is joining a Visa initiative that focuses on 'agentic' payments. In plain English, this means using AI agents to handle transactions on behalf of customers. Instead of a human manually clicking 'pay' or filling out a form, an AI assistant can manage the purchase flow within the existing payment rules. For your business, this technology bridges the gap between old-school payment processing and the new world of AI. It allows you to integrate more sophisticated financing tools without having to rebuild your entire back-end system. If you offer Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) or revolving credit, this infrastructure helps ensure those payments happen smoothly and automatically in the background. It reduces friction at the point of sale by letting automated systems handle the heavy lifting of authentication and authorization. While this is currently rolling out across Europe, it sets a global standard for how customers will interact with financing and payments in the very near future.
