Worldline and ING complete Europe's first live agentic payment transaction with Mastercard.

Worldline, ING, and Mastercard have successfully completed Europe's first live end-to-end agentic payment transaction, demonstrating a secure, consumer-approved AI agent payment across multiple European markets. The transaction involved an ING cardholder purchasing concert tickets via a merchant's AI agent, with authentication and authorization managed securely by ING and Worldline. This milestone proves that agentic payments are production-ready, offering transparency, security, and scalability for future use cases like recurring payments and delegated purchases. The collaboration sets a foundation for the evolving agentic commerce ecosystem in Europe.
