Google is donating the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) to the FIDO Alliance to help shape the future of secure, agentic payments.
As AI-driven commerce evolves, open and interoperable standards are key to scaling innovation.
By transitioning AP2 to the FIDO Alliance, Google is ensuring it remains platform-agnostic, community-led, and built for broad adoption.
Google is also releasing AP2 v0.2 on GitHub introducing support for autonomous transactions, including “Human Not Present” payments, enabling agents to securely act on pre-authorized user instructions.
Alongside this, AP2 is advancing new standards like Verifiable Intent (co-developed with Mastercard), creating a tamper-proof record of agent actions for greater trust and accountability.
With strong industry momentum, AP2 is laying the foundation for secure, scalable agentic commerce across platforms.
