Clink, the AI-native payments infrastructure, today launched the world's first fiat Agentic Payment Skill, a production-ready capability that lets autonomous AI agents pay for products and services in real currencies, on the user's existing credit card, under user-defined limits—a harnessed model by design. Clink supports 135+ currencies and 100+ local payment methods, including Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, PIX, iDEAL, Alipay, WeChat Pay, and KakaoPay.
Two early Clink-enabled merchants: ModelMax (LLM gateway to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and 20+ models) and PollyReach (AI calling product).
No new wallets or payment systems; agents pay using existing cards.
No exposure of raw payment data to agents; PCI-compliant tokenization by default.
User-defined spending limits enforced at infrastructure layer.

Clink achieved PCI certification in mid-2025.
Clink's Agentic Payment Skill is built on three core principles. No new wallets and no new payment systems: Agents pay in fiat using the same cards and local payment methods users already trust. No exposure of raw payment data to agents: Funding sources are stored using PCI-compliant infrastructure at the same security level as enterprise payment processors, with tokenization applied by default. No uncontrolled spending: Users define how much an agent can spend, how often it can spend, and under what conditions. These limits are enforced at the infrastructure layer, not delegated to agent behavior.
Clink ships an integration skill that turns merchant onboarding itself into an agent task. Coding agents like Claude Code or Cursor can run it end-to-end: product and pricing configuration, API wiring, test transactions. Integration is no longer a sprint. It's a prompt. Once integrated, Clink-enabled merchants get payments from any authorized agent, settled in fiat, on real cards, through the same payment processors digital products already work with; per task, per call, per token revenue, not just per subscription; user-side spending control automatically enforced; and 60 seconds to see an agent pay for API credits, hands-free.
ModelMax was a natural first integration. Agents using its LLM gateway burn through tokens continuously, and a workflow that breaks when the balance hits zero is the worst possible user experience. With Clink, agents on ModelMax now top themselves up automatically the moment they're projected to run low, within seconds, within the user's pre-authorized budget, with no human interruption. PollyReach shows a different pattern: products being redesigned to be called by other agents. Its calling capability used to live behind a website with a login and a monthly subscription. Now it sits in the cloud as a Clink-enabled service that any compliant agent can invoke and pay for, on a true per-call basis.
