The journey

From enrollment to autonomous purchase. A single, unbroken flow.

Enroll

Users add their card once

A PCI-compliant capture form (VGS) tokenizes the card instantly. Nevermined never sees the number, only a secure network token is stored. Verified via 3DS or FIDO2 passkey.

ISO 27001 · SOC 2 Type II · PCI SAQ-D certified infrastructure.

Mandate

They define the guardrails

Spending caps, time windows, and merchant categories. Think of it as a power-of-attorney for payments, scoped and revocable.

"Up to $200/week on research APIs, revoke any time."

Delegate

Hand the key to the agent

The agent receives a scoped API key: payment capability, not card credentials. One key can work across sessions, tools, and frameworks.

OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, CrewAI, MCP, and any agent.

Transact

The agent pays autonomously

When the agent hits a paywall, it includes a payment header in the HTTP request. The purchase completes in milliseconds. No checkout. No redirect.

As natural as a browser loading a page.

Audit

Full trail. Full control.

Every transaction is logged with agent ID, amount, merchant, and timestamp. Exportable for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and regulatory audits. Users revoke delegation with one click.

Compliant, auditable, instantly revocable.

Card delegation · Network and agentic

Network tokens for platforms. Agentic tokens for agents.

Register a card once and delegate it. Network tokens route through the platform you already use. Agentic tokens are issued per agent, bound to a mandate, and settled with a one-time cryptogram, so an agent can transact across merchants, not just one.

Network Tokens

For platforms

A card-network surrogate for the card number, portable across processors. The agent charges through the platform you already run, the token survives reissuance, and it settles like any card-on-file payment.

StripeLive

Cards and merchant accounts, settled via Stripe Connect. The fastest path to live agent payments.

PayPal BraintreeLive

Third-party card-on-file network tokens for Visa and Mastercard, portable across processors.

Agentic Tokens

For agents

A newer network capability built for autonomous agents: issued per agent, bound to the user's mandate, and settled with a one-time cryptogram. The agent transacts across merchants on the user's behalf, and the network checks every charge against the mandate.

Visa Intelligent CommerceLive

An agent-specific, passkey-authenticated credential spendable at Visa merchants. US-issued consumer Visa cards to start (no corporate or Chase-issued cards).

Mastercard Agent PayComing Soon

Mastercard's Agentic Tokens: per-agent credentials with scoped spend controls, in phased rollout with the networks.

Why it matters: Network tokens are the fastest path to live agent payments - add a card and delegate to your platform. Agentic tokens move the trust model from "is this the right card" to "is this the right agent, acting on a real mandate," and let that agent spend across merchants, not just one. Nevermined supports both.

Two ways to get started

Whether you're an individual or a platform builder, there's a path.

1
For Users

Enroll & Delegate

Users enroll their card once, set spending rules, and hand a scoped key to any agent. The agent gets purchasing power, never the card number.

Card tokenized via PCI-compliant vault (VGS)
Verified via 3DS or FIDO2 passkey
One key across many agents and sessions
SOC 2 / ISO 27001 audit trail + instant revoke
2
For Builders

Embedded Capture

Ship AI products that can buy things. Embed Nevermined's organization widgets: a PCI-compliant iframe for card enrollment, delegation, and checkout, right inside your app. Card data never touches your servers.

Drop-in iframe widgets, zero PCI scope
No redirects, no external portals
Org-scoped widget keys, origin allowlisted
Enroll, delegate & checkout, all inline
The spend path, in code

Four calls, and the cap does the rest.

The budget you set is not a policy document, it is two fields on a delegation. Every charge is checked against them before anything moves.

1

Pick the card

payments.delegation
.listPaymentMethods()

The card was enrolled in the vault. Your agent never sees the number, only the id.

2

Set the mandate

.createDelegation({
provider: "stripe",
spendingLimitCents: 20000,
durationSecs: 604800,
maxTransactions: 40
})

$200 a week, 40 charges. That is the whole mandate. Returns a delegationId.

3

Scope the key

payments.x402
.getX402AccessToken(planId, agentId, {
scheme: "nvm:card-delegation",
delegationConfig: { delegationId }
})

The agent gets a credential bound to that delegation and nothing else.

4

It spends

// agent calls the merchant
402 → paid from the delegation
200 OK · $4.20 · cap $195.80 left
// over the cap: refused, nothing paid

Checked at the moment of charge, on every call. Revoke the delegation and it stops immediately.

Paying a Nevermined merchant from a delegated card. Paying any public x402 or MPP endpoint is the Router, where stablecoin rails are live and the card rail is coming.

Running agents as a team

One treasury for the whole fleet

An organization turns individual delegations into a managed operation: shared funding, group-level spending caps, and oversight of every mandate your team's agents hold.

1

Fund together

Enroll company cards into the organization and share them with named groups - any group member’s agents can spend from them. Paid tiers add org-owned stablecoin wallets, managed by admins.

2

Control spend

Premium and Enterprise. Each group carries a shared budget: a hard cap enforced at the moment of charge on card and stablecoin rails alike, auto-resetting monthly or yearly, with threshold alerts before it bites.

3

See everything

Premium and Enterprise; the realtime activity stream is Enterprise. A live activity feed of every spending mandate created, exhausted, or revoked; webhooks for your own systems; and spend analytics per member and per group.

Every enrollment is verified with 3DS or a passkey; each card and mandate remains individually revocable by its owner. Admin and member roles keep wallets and membership in the right hands.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about Nevermined Pay.

It's neither. Nevermined Pay uses your real credit or debit card. At enrollment, the card number is tokenized by a PCI-compliant vault. Nevermined never sees or stores the raw PAN. What the agent receives is a scoped virtual card credential that encodes identity, spending limits, and merchant restrictions. The actual charge still runs on existing card rails, so it appears on your normal statement.
