Privy integrates with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments
Embedded wallets and programmable controls for agents that transact

Today, we’re excited to announce that Privy wallet infrastructure integrates with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore payments, a new capability from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that helps customers develop agentic payment solutions to access and make micropayments for services in real time.
As agents evolve from systems that reason and act to systems that can also transact, payments need to be built directly into how they operate. AgentCore payments takes a meaningful step in that direction by helping developers make payments a native part of their agent execution layer, rather than something developers have to stitch together themselves.
Payments, built into the agent workflow
At the core of this shift is a simple idea: payments should feel like a natural extension of what an agent is already doing.
Once configured, payments fit naturally into the developer’s agent workflow. When a developer’s agent encounters a paid resource, the agent can authenticate, execute a transaction, and continue its task without interrupting its execution loop.This removes the need for custom billing integrations and allows developers to focus on what their agents do, rather than how they pay.
Built for how agents actually operate
Making this work requires more than just connecting to payment rails. Agents need access to funds in a way that is both flexible and tightly controlled.
Privy provides the embedded wallet infrastructure and programmable controls that make this possible. Developers can provision a wallet for their agent, fund it through stablecoins or fiat payment methods (such as the Stripe Onramp), while end users explicitly delegate permission for agents to spend on their behalf.
AgentCore payments then helps developers enforce how those funds can be used, with spending limits that help keep agents operating within the developer’s clearly defined boundaries. This helps their agents transact safely, within clear boundaries, and without having open-ended access to funds.
This builds on the work we’ve already been doing with agent developers. From delegated signing to policy engines, Privy’s agent wallets have focused on giving developers the tools to safely and reliably move money on behalf of autonomous systems. AgentCore payments extends that foundation into a broader service to help customers develop agents that can discover, access, and pay for the resources they need in real time.
Where this goes next
The first phase of this shift is already underway. Micropayments, powered by emerging standards like x402, allow agents to pay for APIs, data, and content as they use them.
Over time, this model expands naturally into more forms of commerce, where agents can complete transactions on behalf of users across a wide range of services.
We’re excited to be working with AWS to help define how customers can develop agentic payment solutions, and to support developers building systems where transacting is as seamless as reasoning and acting.
