Most solutions route through a PSP, which introduces unnecessary latency, higher costs, and rigid dependencies. The @getVGS Difference: 🔓 Multi-Processor Flexibility: Use your tokens across any PSP in your stack—don’t let one provider hold your data hostage. ⚡ Ultra-Low Latency: Direct network connections eliminate "extra hops," speeding up transaction times when every millisecond counts. 📈 Higher Auth Rates: Real-time lifecycle management and cleaner data lead to fewer declines. 🔁 Total Portability: Your tokens stay with you as your payment architecture evolves. Why architecture matters: As network tokens become the foundation for fraud reduction and payment optimization, choosing a provider with direct access ensures you gain a competitive advantage—not a new dependency. Own your data. Own your routing. Own your growth. 🚀 🔗 Read the full breakdown ➡️ verygoodsecurity.com/blog/posts/vgs… #NetworkTokens #PaymentInfrastructure #Fintech #VGS #Tokenization #AuthorizationRates #Payments

The next evolution of commerce may not happen in a browser - it may happen in a terminal. A new paradigm is emerging: Command-Line Commerce (CLC), where AI agents, APIs, and programmable payments enable software to transact autonomously. We’re moving from: “search and click” ➡️ “intent and execution” As AI agents begin making purchasing decisions on behalf of users and businesses, commerce infrastructure must become: ✔️ API-native ✔️ Machine-readable ✔️ Secure & programmable In our latest blog article, VGS's Sr. Director, Product Delivery, Travis Mottershead, explores: 🔹 What Command-Line Commerce is 🔹 Why stablecoins and tokenized credentials matter 🔹 How businesses should prepare for autonomous transactions 🔗 Read more: ow.ly/urOY50YXNAs #AI #Fintech #Payments #APIs #Stablecoins #AgenticAI

🚨AI and PCI compliance are on a collision course - and most companies aren’t ready. 🚨 As AI adoption accelerates across payments, fraud detection, and customer experiences, it’s fundamentally changing how sensitive cardholder data is accessed, processed, and stored. 👉 That raises a critical question: How do merchants maintain PCI DSS compliance in AI-driven environments? In the latest @getVGS blog post, Laura Furlong breaks down the key issues shaping AI and PCI compliance: • How AI systems expand PCI scope and increase audit complexity • The hidden risks of exposing cardholder data to LLMs and third-party models • Why legacy compliance approaches don’t work for AI-powered architectures • How tokenization, data vaulting, and isolation-first design reduce compliance burden The takeaway: AI doesn’t just introduce new risk; it changes the definition of your cardholder data environment. Forward-thinking companies are moving toward data-centric security models, where sensitive data is never exposed to AI systems in the first place. This approach not only strengthens security but also simplifies PCI compliance at scale. If you’re building or deploying AI in fintech, payments, or SaaS, understanding this shift is essential. :link: Read more: verygoodsecurity.com/blog/posts/ai-… #AICompliance #PCIDSS #DataSecurity #Tokenization #Payments #Cybersecurity

Machine-native micropayments aka no human in the loop (after delegation) is now a reality thanks to the @Nevermined_ai team and their collaboration with @Visa, @getVGS and @coinbase x402. Nevermined's solution works with any AI agent stack. Exciting! Follow below to try it out.🦾

7/8 Framework agnostic. Works with any (!) AI agent stack. @getVGS provides secure vault infrastructure so agent operators never handle cardholder data.

1/8 🚨Announcement🚨 @Nevermined_ai unlocks autonomous agent payments using @Visa Intelligent Commerce, @coinbase x402 and @getVGS . AI agents can hold persistent delegated card spending authority with safe policy enforcement set by the cardholder. 🧵👇

Proud to be a part of this innovative initiative with @Nevermined_ai! #autonomousagents #agenticcommerce #payments #datasecurity

@getVGS is proud to power @Nevermined_ai to Unlock Autonomous Agent Micropayments with @Visa Intelligent Commerce & @Coinbase's x402! 🚀 The unlock for developers isn’t just a capability; it’s removing the barriers that have historically made payments hard. By abstracting away security and compliance complexity, developers can move beyond “chatbots” to fully functional commerce agents. Whether a transaction is initiated by a person or an agent, the fundamentals don’t change - trust, security, and performance still define the outcome. With VGS Collect, secure card delegation makes it possible for agents to transact autonomously - without the operator ever handling sensitive payment data. That's how we power the infrastructure behind AI-driven commerce. 🦾 🔗 Read more about how internet-native payments are evolving with Nevermined, Visa, Coinbase, and VGS ➡️ nevermined.ai/blog/nevermine… #AgenticCommerce #AI #Payments #VGS #Visa #Nevermined #Innovation

Big day for the team at @Nevermined_ai which we are proud to support at @arca. This partnership with @Visa @getVGS and x402 is a step forward in the growth of agentic commerce.

1/4 Pay and get paid in the agentic economy. @Nevermined_ai Pay is LIVE 🎉 Over the past 6 months, AI agents have gone from tools to operators. They reason, plan, and execute. But the moment they need to pay or get paid, everything breaks. A human has to step in. That doesn’t scale.
