Status

Draft published for feedback on 2026-09-01; the comment period ended on 2026-09-30. On 2026-10-13 the EMVCo news list has no item on the outcome of the comment period; the newsletter Q3 2026 (2026-10-09) still calls it a draft and says it was published "to provide a foundation for further industry engagement and potential specification development"; no final version or new draft is found (EMVCo news list and resource page, 2026-10-13).

Relevance

The press release of 2026-09-01 says the draft framework for card payments introduces "Intent Services", a shared layer to "register, reference, retrieve and manage consumer-authorised intent before, during and after a transaction", for cases where a consumer delegates authority to an AI agent to buy on their behalf.

It says EMVCo has established a dedicated Agentic Payments Task Force and collaborates with the FIDO Alliance, the OpenID Foundation, the OpenWallet Foundation and W3C.
