SINGAPORE, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Whalet, a global payment infrastructure platform, today announced at the celebration of its sixth anniversary that it will continue to invest in AI and its strategic focus on Agentic Commerce, marking the next stage in its evolution to support how businesses will transact in an increasingly AI-driven economy.
As AI agents move from assisting with tasks to increasingly participating in commerce, the infrastructure supporting transactions must evolve as well. Businesses will need payment capabilities that are not only global and scalable, but also increasingly intelligent, automated, and responsive to changing business needs.
“The way businesses operate globally is changing, and payments need to evolve with it,” said Nicholas Liao, Founder & CEO of Whalet. “Our focus is to build global payment infrastructure that enables businesses to operate more efficiently in this new era of commerce, while using AI to make financial operations smarter, more proactive, and more seamless.”
Advancing AI Across Global Payments
As part of its strategy, Whalet is integrating AI into key areas of its global payment infrastructure:
Intelligent FX: Using AI-driven insights to help businesses assess market conditions and identify more efficient timing for currency conversion.
Intelligent Risk Management: Enhancing proactive risk detection and early-warning capabilities, while exploring Know Your Agent (KYA) to address emerging risks associated with AI-driven transactions.
Intelligent Payments: Automating routine financial workflows, including payment reconciliation and pre-configured supplier payments, to reduce manual processes and improve operational efficiency.
These capabilities are designed to help businesses move from manually managing individual payment tasks toward more intelligent and streamlined financial operations.
Building for the Next Era of Commerce
Agentic Commerce is creating new interactions between businesses, consumers, AI agents, and financial infrastructure. Whalet believes payment infrastructure will play a critical role in enabling this transition.
With its Global Payment Infrastructure Platform as the foundation, Whalet will continue expanding its global payment capabilities while embedding intelligence across FX, risk management, and payment execution.
By combining global payment infrastructure with AI, Whalet aims to help businesses navigate increasingly complex global operations with greater efficiency, intelligence, and agility—so they can focus on what matters most: growing their business worldwide.
