Test mode — simulated cards and balances only. No real funds move on AgentPay today.
Security

Agents get capability, never your raw credentials

Card data is minimized, credential reveal is reauthenticated and audited, and every sensitive action leaves a record you can export.

Data handling

What we store, and what we refuse to

No plaintext PANs, ever

Card numbers are never written to the application database, and CVV values are never persisted at all.

Reauthenticated reveal

Revealing credentials requires a fresh authentication, returns a short-lived token, and expires the session automatically.

Scoped, rotatable keys

Secrets are hashed at rest and displayed exactly once. Keys carry permissions, environments, and expiry dates.

Row-level security

Every table is scoped to the organization and role, enforced in the database rather than in application code.

Audit logging

Actor, action, resource, IP, and user agent for each sensitive operation — exportable for compliance review.

Separated environments

Test and production data never mix. Test-mode surfaces are labelled everywhere, all the time.

Prototype disclosure

AgentPay is currently a functional prototype. Cards, balances, authorizations, and merchant checkouts are simulated. AgentPay is not a card issuer and does not claim a sponsor bank, compliance program, or processor relationship. Real issuance will require an issuing provider, KYC and KYB onboarding, and network approval for exposing card credentials to autonomous agents.
