Rain launches Agent Vaults: secure wallets letting AI agents spend, send and receive money
schwentker · x · 2026-11-11
Payments startup Rain introduced Agent Vaults, giving AI agents a secure place to receive, spend, and send money through one integration:
- Fund: users can top up via cards, bank transfers, or stablecoins; agents can also receive payments directly.
- Hold: funds convert to stablecoins or sit as fiat in a bank account.
- Spend & send: scoped cards work at 175M+ merchant locations, bank payouts in 50 currencies, stablecoin transfers to people, businesses, or other agents.
- Control: the Agent Control Layer enforces spending limits, merchant restrictions, and timing rules at authorization.
An architecture diagram shows integrations with USDC/Tether, chains like Solana, Base, and Ethereum, plus Visa/Mastercard and agentic payment frameworks — another concrete step toward agents that can transact autonomously.
