On July 18th, at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), Sunrate, a global payment and treasury management service platform, and Mastercard, a global payment technology company, officially released a deep industry white paper on the B2B sector, titled "Beyond Automation: Defining Agentic Global Payments for B2B." As the first authoritative research report in the global payment industry to systematically interpret how "Agentic AI" is reshaping the entire B2B cross-border payment process, the white paper clearly points out that the cross-border payment industry is leaping from the "digitalization and datafication" development stage to a new third stage—the autonomous stage. With authorization from enterprises, AI agents possessing reasoning and planning capabilities can independently orchestrate and optimize the enterprise's end-to-end payment and treasury operation processes. This provides a practical and feasible implementation paradigm for the B2B industry to leverage AI technology to solve long-standing pain points in cross-border payments.
