Announcement Overview
Visa announced a suite of AI‑driven payment innovations and a new cybersecurity whitepaper at the Global Fintech Fest (GFF) 2026 held in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India on 11 September 2026.
Live Agentic Commerce Demonstrations
During the three‑day event Visa demonstrated live Agentic Commerce payment experiences built on its tokenisation and Visa Payment Passkey authentication infrastructure. The demonstrations involved three Indian banks—Federal Bank, IndusInd Bank and RBL Bank—and were extended to a range of payment platforms, namely Cashfree, CCAvenue, Juspay, Paytm Payments Services, PayU, Pine Labs and Razorpay. The showcases illustrated how AI‑powered journeys can guide consumers from product discovery through decision‑making to secure checkout while preserving consumer control, transparency and security.
Whitepaper Launch – Frontier AI: A New Era of Cyber Resilience
Visa also launched the whitepaper titled "Frontier AI: A New Era of Cyber Resilience". The paper was introduced by Subra Kumaraswamy, Chief Information Security Officer of Visa, and Suresh Sethi, Group Country Manager for India and South Asia. It details the Visa Vulnerability Agentic Harness (VVAH), an open‑source, multi‑model security pipeline designed to support vulnerability discovery, validation, prioritisation, remediation and fix verification at scale. The whitepaper shifts the performance metric focus from traditional Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) to Mean Time to Adapt (MTTA), measuring the interval from AI‑identified exploitability to a validated production fix. Visa is offering VVAH as a digital public good intended to secure the broader financial ecosystem.
