9.00am 19 Jan, London – Revolut, a global financial leader, today announced a new strategic pillar for Revolut Pay, with plans to make its seamless, one-tap checkout solution compatible across the emerging landscape of agentic commerce. This is underpinned by Revolut Pay becoming one of the first EU payment methods compatible with Google’s Agent Payments Protocol (AP2). This strategic focus will help position Revolut Pay as both the secure, universal, 1-tap payment solution for consumers and a powerful sales booster for Revolut Business merchants in conversational and automated shopping environments.
Through close collaboration with Google, Revolut has become one of the first EU payment methods compatible with AP2. AP2 is an open protocol developed with leading payments and technology companies to securely initiate and transact agent-led payments across platforms. In concert with industry rules and standards, it establishes a payment-agnostic framework for users, merchants, and payments providers to transact with confidence across all types of payment methods. In addition, Revolut has contributed directly to Google’s AP2 open protocol by adapting the flows specifically for account-to-account payments.
“The future of shopping isn’t a website; it’s a conversation. We aim to move beyond the click-and-pay model to a world where your AI assistant streamlines the checkout for you,” said Alex Codina, General Manager of Acquiring at Revolut. “By enabling Revolut Pay for Agentic Commerce, we are aiming to make our customers’ favourite, most secure payment experience the standard for AI-driven transactions. This will ensure speed, trust, and absolute zero friction for the next generation of digital buying.”
“The future of digital commerce relies on trust, security and speed. By leveraging Google’s AP2 protocol, Revolut will remove friction from AI-assisted shopping. Together, Revolut and Google are transforming digital commerce for millions of users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK,” said Tara Brady, President, Google Cloud EMEA.
Revolut Pay ensures that customers’ transactions are handled with Revolut’s secure infrastructure, including instant notifications and integrated fraud monitoring. The process creates a cleaner, more secure experience for customers and boosts conversion rates for merchants. It also offers a trusted, familiar payment rail for this novel commerce channel.
For Revolut Business merchants, the strategic value of embracing Agentic Commerce lies in preparing for the future of payments. This foundational work and strategic commitment to full payment rail support ensures Revolut remains a trusted partner empowering merchants to thrive in the evolving agentic commerce ecosystem.
These ambitions are illustrative of Revolut’s commitment to staying at the forefront of digital innovation. By ensuring Revolut Pay compatibility with any agent, Revolut is directly addressing the shift in how consumers will interact with the digital economy, ensuring its core payment product is present wherever commerce occurs next.
