Clink Launches Global Payments Infrastructure for Humans and AI Agents at SuperAI Singapore 2026

SINGAPORE, June 11, 2026 – As artificial intelligence agents begin moving from answering queries to making decisions and carrying out transactions, payments startup Clink has launched a global payment and billing infrastructure designed for both human users and AI agents.

Announced at SuperAI Singapore 2026, Clink’s platform enables businesses to manage global payments, subscriptions, billing and agent-led transactions through a single integrated infrastructure layer.

The launch comes amid growing industry focus on agentic commerce, a new phase of digital commerce where AI agents can research products, compare options, initiate purchases and complete transactions on behalf of users within authorised limits.

Clink said its platform is designed to help businesses continue serving customers through traditional online checkout experiences while also preparing their products and services to be discovered, purchased and used by AI agents.

“AI agents are becoming more capable of researching products, making decisions and taking action on behalf of users, but most payment infrastructure was designed for humans clicking through checkout pages,” said Patrick Wu, Founder and CEO of Clink. “We are building the payment layer that allows businesses to serve both humans and agents using the same trusted global payment networks.”

Building the Payment Layer for Agentic Commerce

The rise of AI agents is expected to reshape how consumers and businesses interact with digital services. Instead of users manually browsing websites, filling forms and clicking checkout buttons, AI agents may increasingly perform tasks such as travel booking, procurement, software subscriptions, research purchases and business services transactions on behalf of individuals or companies.

This shift creates a new infrastructure challenge for businesses. Traditional payment systems were largely built around human-operated interfaces, where a customer manually selects a product, enters payment details and confirms a transaction. Agentic commerce requires a different model, one that allows AI systems to initiate purchases while preserving human authorisation, spending controls, audit trails and fraud prevention.

Clink is positioning itself as a unified infrastructure platform for this emerging market. Its platform brings together global payments, subscription billing, payment orchestration, agent payment integration and revenue intelligence. The company said the system supports major currencies, card networks and more than 100 local payment methods.

For businesses already using payment providers such as Stripe, Adyen or Checkout.com, Clink can connect with existing setups and operate as a billing and orchestration layer, allowing companies to avoid rebuilding their payment infrastructure from scratch.

The platform also includes smart routing, retries and connections to existing payment service providers, helping businesses improve payment reliability and conversion across markets.

AI Agents Create New Monetisation Challenges

As AI-native products and enterprise AI tools become more sophisticated, businesses are also beginning to rethink monetisation models. AI products increasingly rely on usage-based pricing, recurring subscriptions, API consumption, agent-led workflows and embedded services. This makes billing and revenue management more complex than traditional one-time online payments.

Clink’s platform includes tools for recurring subscriptions, usage-based billing, invoicing and revenue management. It also provides real-time visibility into payments, customers, subscriptions and business performance.

The company said its agent payment integration allows AI agents to initiate purchases within permissions and spending limits authorised by human users. This is likely to become a critical requirement as businesses seek to make their products machine-discoverable and purchasable while retaining control over financial transactions.

For developers building AI-native applications, Clink provides skill-based payment integration that can be used by coding agents and agent applications. The company said this enables developers to add monetisation capabilities without building separate payment flows for every human or agent interface.

The approach reflects a broader trend within the AI ecosystem where payment infrastructure, identity verification, permissions management and data access are becoming essential components of autonomous digital services.

SuperAI Singapore Highlights Shift From AI Models to Real-World Deployment

Clink’s launch at SuperAI Singapore 2026 comes as the event places strong emphasis on AI’s transition from research and experimentation to real-world deployment. Across the AI ecosystem, founders, investors, infrastructure providers and enterprise technology companies are increasingly discussing how AI agents will interact with software, websites, marketplaces and payment networks.

Agentic commerce is emerging as one of the most closely watched areas because it sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, fintech, digital commerce and enterprise automation.

If AI agents become widely adopted, businesses may need to ensure that their products and services are not only visible to human users through search engines and websites, but also discoverable and usable by AI systems.

This could reshape everything from online retail and travel booking to B2B procurement, SaaS subscriptions, financial services and marketplace transactions. Clink is also working with technology ecosystem partners including PingCAP and Exa to explore the data, discovery and infrastructure requirements of agentic commerce.

The company will demonstrate its payment and agent commerce infrastructure at Booth KI11 during SuperAI Singapore. Founder and CEO Patrick Wu and the Clink team are available for discussions on AI agents, agent-initiated payments, human authorisation, monetisation models for AI products and the future of global payments.

As AI agents become more capable of taking action on behalf of users, payments infrastructure may become one of the most important building blocks of the next digital economy. For Singapore, the launch further reinforces the city-state’s growing role as a regional hub for AI innovation, fintech infrastructure and the commercial deployment of emerging technologies.
