A customer asked an AI agent to book a coffee tasting, and the agent completed the booking and payment on its own using a Mastercard from Danske Bank. It is Denmark's first payment made by an AI agent.

What they built

The agent found and booked the experience on Mastercard's Priceless.com platform and paid via Mastercard Agent Pay, with PayOS orchestrating the whole flow. The purchase was secured with Mastercard Payment Passkeys, so the customer gives consent and the bank can see that the transaction was initiated by an AI agent.

The result

Denmark's first completed payment made by an AI agent on real banking infrastructure.
