Rogers Bank, Mastercard, Flybits Pilot AI-Driven Payments in Canada

Rogers Communications partnered with Mastercard, Flybits, and Rogers Bank on Canada's first agentic commerce transaction linking an AI platform, issuer, and network. The pilot used Mastercard's Agent Pay to allow a Flybits-managed AI assistant to make purchases within consumer-set rules. Mastercard consumer survey indicates 41% are open to AI shopping assistants, and 53% are comfortable with AI purchases within preset preferences and budgets.
