The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is calling on banks to prepare for “know your agent” frameworks as AI agents begin handling autonomous payments and financial decisions. Regulators emphasize robust mechanisms for trust, user consent, and accountability in this emerging space. FCA highlights stablecoins as a pathway for agentic commerce and stresses clear authorization, audit trails, revocation rights, and liability definitions. This shift could transform banking from traditional apps to agent-driven models. Building on collaborative papers, the guidance promotes interoperable protocols. With significant projected value in AI transactions, the FCA aims to enable safe innovation while protecting consumers. Justo Global tracks these regulatory changes and their global financial impact.
