Exclusive: Trulioo joins Google’s AP2 initiative

Investing.com -- Trulioo is set to join Google’s Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) initiative in a move that is expected to deepen the collaboration between the companies and expand trust standards for the emerging world of agent-led payments, Investing.com has learned.

The move, which has not yet been publicly announced, will position Trulioo as a key identity-verification partner within AP2, Google’s open, standardised framework designed to allow AI agents to initiate and complete payments on behalf of users while maintaining full transparency and authorization.

AP2 is described as “a common language” for how autonomous agents will transact across financial institutions, fintechs and merchants.

As part of AP2, Trulioo is expected to demonstrate how its Digital Agent Passport, or DAP, can operate within AP2 to establish a verifiable trust layer for agent-led transactions.

Integrated with the company’s Know Your Agent framework, the DAP will work as a “neutral trust fabric,” ensuring each AI agent is authenticated and accountable before initiating any payment.

Trulioo believes the stakes for identity infrastructure are rising as autonomous agents move closer to mainstream commerce.

The move builds on Google’s existing use of the Trulioo Global Identity Platform for Know Your Customer checks across its payments organisation, including fraud prevention and abuse mitigation.
