KB Kookmin Card of South Korea has signed a four-party agreement with Japan’s SBI Holdings and two security companies to test identity verification for AI agents and examine stablecoin payment services between the two countries. The project will study whether Japanese tourists in South Korea can make payments with digital assets, including stablecoins. KB Kookmin Card also said it will look at how its KB Pay platform could support AI agents making payments on behalf of users. The identity layer for the trial will use the KYA Trust Gateway platform developed by SBI Everspin to verify an AI agent’s identity, permissions, and the scope of authorized transactions. The parties have not disclosed which stablecoins may be supported, and they have not given a launch date for any commercial service. Their next steps will focus on payment flows, settlement processing, and anti-fraud procedures.
