AI agents are learning to pay. Who's checking?

Agents are getting cards, wallets and the right to spend. Rabbitnose is building the check every agent payment passes first: your rules and the law, before a single euro moves.

A familiar story

Remember the intern with the company card?

  1. Monday

    Smart, eager, fast. Handed the company card to “just sort out the software”.

  2. Wednesday

    Three renewals. One of them paid twice. A new supplier nobody had heard of.

  3. Friday

    Finance finds out from the statement. Nobody was checking. Nobody had the time.

Now give that intern a thousand hands and no need to sleep. That's an AI agent with a budget.

The intern's week, if Rabbitnose had checkedillustration
  • Design tool, annual renewal€1,188allowed
  • Design tool, annual renewal€1,188blocked · duplicate
  • New supplier, first payment€4,900blocked · country rules
  • Conference tickets ×6€3,540review · over limit
  • Cloud credits top-up€300allowed

Same five payments. Each one checked before the money moved: two go through, two are stopped, one waits for a person. Always with a reason.

It's already happening

Bots, agents and people are already paying the wrong bills.

Real cases. Every one of them is a check that wasn't there. Business email scams alone led to $55 billion in reported losses over ten years, according to the FBI.

Why now

Your software is about to spend your money.

Agents can pay. Card networks and payment providers are opening their rails to AI agents.

Rules don't travel with them. Spending policy, approval chains and country-specific regulation live in people's heads and PDFs.

Someone still answers for it. When an agent pays the wrong supplier, the wrong amount or the wrong country, it's finance and compliance who explain it.

The idea

One check between every agent and your money.

01

The agent asks

Before paying, the agent sends the payment it intends to make.

02

Rabbitnose checks

Company policy, approvals and the rules of each country involved.

03

Money moves, or stops

Allowed, sent to a person, or blocked, always with a reason.

Who it's for

For whoever has to say yes to an agent with a budget.

Finance & procurement

Let agents buy, book and pay without giving up sign-off. Your policy holds, whoever presses pay.

Agent & commerce platforms

Ship agents that enterprises can trust with real money, with the controls their finance teams will ask for.

Banks & payment providers

Agent-initiated payments are landing on your rails. Know there was a rule and a reason behind each one.

Principles

How we are building it.

Fail safe

When anything is uncertain, a payment goes to a person. Never silently through.

Explain every decision

Every yes, no and maybe comes with a reason people and auditors can read.

EU-first

Designed for European data protection and financial regulation from day one.

Least data

Only what a payment decision needs. Nothing more, kept no longer than necessary.

Agent-neutral

One policy for every agent and platform a company uses, not one per vendor.

Humans decide

Your teams set the rules and own the hard calls. Rabbitnose does the checking.

Early access

Letting agents spend soon? Build it with us.

We are looking for a small group of finance teams and agent platforms to shape Rabbitnose before launch.
