Payguard Closes $24M Extension as Agent Payment Rails Add SOC 2 for Non-Human Spenders

  • Agent Payments
  • Fintech Infra
  • Compliance

Payment guardrails for autonomous agents—budgets, counterparties, and settlement proofs with the compliance pack enterprises demand before agents hold a card on file.

“If agents are going to spend money, the rails have to treat them like employees with better audit logs—and yes, SOC 2 for non-human spenders is table stakes.”

— Founder

“Agent commerce dies on compliance theater—Payguard makes non-human spend boring enough for treasury to approve.”

— Josh Kushner · Thrive Capital
