Background & analysis
On October 21, 2026, The Next Web reported that Visa, BILL and Billtrust had launched a live pilot in which AI agents handle the payment of approved supplier invoices from start to finish. The three companies described it as the first live pilot of its kind. According to the report, the agents carry out payments through suppliers' own payment portals, a process that until now typically required a person to log in and enter information manually. The report did not specify when the pilot began, how many parties are involved, which suppliers or regions it covers, or any results so far. The publicly available information therefore stops at the launch of the pilot and its stated approach of paying approved invoices automatically through supplier portals.
