Rain Launches Agent Vaults to Enable Embedded Payments for AI Agents
Rain has introduced 'Agent Vaults,' a new embedded payment infrastructure designed specifically for AI agents. The solution allows developers to integrate financial capabilities directly into their AI products, enabling agents to receive, hold, and spend funds within user-defined parameters. Users can fund these vaults via bank transfers (ACH, SEPA, etc.), cards, or stablecoins. The technology utilizes scoped cards issued by Rain—a Visa and Mastercard Principal Member—to facilitate secure transactions at over 175 million merchant locations globally. By using this infrastructure, developers can maintain their own branding and user relationships while providing agents with the ability to handle micropayments for API calls, supplier payouts, and consumer purchases without requiring standing permissions or third-party logins.
