Cleverbridge Among the First to Enable Visa’s Trusted Agent Protocol and Agentic Directory, Providing Secure Access to Approved Agents

Cleverbridge joins issuer testing in Visa’s Agentic Ready program, using Trusted Agent Protocol to test AI-initiated transactions on its platform.

Cleverbridge, a global commerce partner and digital reseller for software and SaaS companies, today announced it is working with Visa to enable and test agentic commerce, using Visa’s Trusted Agent Protocol and Agentic Directory to securely recognize and manage AI agents interacting with its commerce platform.

Cleverbridge is one of the first merchants to take advantage of these capabilities, allowing it to distinguish trusted agents from unknown or unverified traffic and define how approved agents can access its platform and product information — all within existing risk and control frameworks.

As part of this pilot, Cleverbridge is completing multiple agent-initiated transactions in which AI agents can browse, select, and complete purchases on behalf of customers within defined rules and controls. This step enables agents to complete the shopping journey, moving from AI-assisted search to true agentic commerce.
