Settlement infrastructure for agent workflows

Safe spend controls for AI agents.

Paybond helps businesses safely let AI agents spend money by controlling budgets, checking authorization, verifying outcomes, and keeping a trusted record of every transaction.

Bounded authority

Define who can act, how much can be spent, and what counts as completion before an agent runs.

Verified release or refund

Funds move when signed evidence satisfies a deterministic check, not when a webhook says "trust me."

Audit-ready record

Intent, evidence, operator decisions, and receipts stay tied to one tenant-scoped history for finance, security, and disputes.

Payment rails move money. Paybond proves when and why.

Paybond works around configured Stripe Connect, Stripe ACH Direct Debit, and USDC on Base rails where they are enabled for the tenant. Paybond defines the agreement around the workflow: who can act, what budget is reserved, what evidence proves completion, and whether the outcome should release, refund, or go to dispute.

  1. Layer 1

    Agent workflow

    An agent books work, launches a campaign, buys a service, calls an API, or coordinates another operator.

  2. Layer 2

    Paybond

    Defines the signed agreement, reserved budget, and allowed operations. Captures evidence, release/refund rules, dispute path, and reviewable record.

  3. Layer 3

    Payment rail

    Configured Stripe Connect, Stripe ACH Direct Debit, and USDC on Base rails execute money movement where they are enabled for the tenant.

How a Paybond settlement works

Define the agreement, fund the budget, collect evidence, decide release or refund, and emit receipts others can verify.

Built for control, not just automation.

When agents can spend money or trigger work, teams need more than logs. Paybond lets you define a signed agreement, hold budget in escrow, verify completion with evidence, and release or refund funds deterministically, with a reviewable record for finance, security, and disputes.

Why this matters in practice

When an agent commits work or spends budget, finance, security, and operations need the same source of truth. Paybond keeps the agreement, evidence, approvals, and release or refund decision in one record so audits and disputes do not depend on scattered logs.
