The company has already shipped six products including FDIC-insured agent wallets, vaults, and fund transfer tools, with plans for 13 products in its first year. Natural owns its own ledgering, settlement, fraud, compliance, and agent identity layers rather than renting them. The agentic payments market is nascent — estimated at just $28,000 in daily transaction volume globally — but projected to grow from $7B to $93B by 2032. Stripe, valued at over $150B, is already adding agentic features, while smaller rivals like Ralio and Paygentic compete from seed stage. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
