A J.P. Morgan Payments executive said banks are increasingly deploying AI in payment infrastructure, with many AI agents already operating in the background to improve payment-flow efficiency and risk management.

Anderson added that while corporate AI spending is currently concentrated on customer-facing applications, “agentic treasury” could become an early opportunity in the future. He said large-scale adoption would depend on further improvements to underlying data and governance infrastructure.
