BILL's payment agent is registered via Visa's Trusted Agent Protocol and Agentic Directory, paying with tokenized card credentials within buyer-approved limits. Billtrust uses the same protocol to authenticate the agent, which can replace CAPTCHAs and bot-blocking checks without a separate login. The agent only executes payments already approved by the buyer. BILL says nearly 500,000 businesses use its platform, and Billtrust says its buyer network has over 20 million buyers and $1 trillion in annual trade credit volume. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
