Who approves a first payment to a new counterparty?
Agent payments and stablecoins
Let your procurement agent pay vendors within limits your treasurer sets
Known vendor invoices pay without a person. A first payment to a new counterparty goes to treasury, and a transfer to a restricted wallet stops before signature.

Why finance teams hesitate to let agents pay
An agent with a wallet can move money faster than anyone can review it.
Spending caps and restricted wallets need checking before signature, not after settlement.
GENIUS Act rules for payment stablecoins take effect January 18, 2027.
A new vendor at month-end
The simulator’s first-payment case, with the finance team around it.
Chief financial officer
Wants the procurement agent paying routine invoices so accounts payable can close the month sooner.
Treasurer
Sets the limits: daily caps, restricted wallets, and review for new counterparties at $5,000 or more.
Treasury analyst
Gets the new-vendor payment in the Inbox with the amount and counterparty, and approves it.
Internal audit
Samples a month of agent payments, with the rule and any approval behind each one.
Agent payments to put limits on
Checks run before your provider executes the payment. Your provider still settles it.
Vendor payments
Check caps, counterparty status, and cross-border limits before the agent signs.
AP2 mandate checks
Compare a proposed purchase with the mandate the user gave, including payee and amount.
API and checkout payments
A payment can start inside an API call. Connect x402 and pay.sh payments to your rules and the settlement result.
Built-in handoff
First payments reach treasury before signature
Treasury
Treasury gets the payment with the amount, asset, and counterparty. Reminders go out if it waits, and the decision goes back to the agent.
