We were thrilled to see our Chief Product Officer, Robin Gandhi, take the stage at fintech_devcon in Denver to share how Lithic is uniquely positioned to power payments in the emerging world of agentic commerce. In a space where AI-driven agents are redefining how purchases are initiated and completed, Robin highlighted why Lithic’s flexible, API-first issuing platform is a natural fit for enabling secure, real-time transactions at every step.
Starting as Privacy.com, we quickly realized that existing issuing infrastructure was not going to meet our needs. We wanted to give our customers and cardholders better control over their transactions to prevent fraud and manage spend, and we needed a lot more reliability than what they could give.
We architected our infrastructure in a way that separated the management of rules from the running of those rules, and we made backtesting a core feature of our rules engine. We will enable custom code rules for our most technical customers on more things than just transactions.
This architecture now allows us to think about how we avoid roadblocks for startups thinking about enabling agentic payments while ensuring highly specified control mechanisms to avoid unauthorized spending.
