NH Nonghyup Card announced on October 16 that it is launching a pilot project (PoC) that combines artificial intelligence (AI) agent-based payment technology with the web payment protocol 'x402.'
The company is partnering with AhnLab Blockchain Company for this initiative.
The project will allow customers to input purchase items and price conditions into an AI assistant, which will then search for and select products to be purchased using stablecoins.
The card company will verify and settle the transactions.
For example, if a customer sets a condition to purchase 300 grams of first-grade Hanwoo beef at a price of 8,000 won or less per 100 grams with a discount of over 20% on the NH shopping mall, the AI will find suitable products and proceed with the purchase.
Both companies will utilize the x402 protocol to support web-based automatic payments, testing features such as AI agent interaction, user interface, digital wallet integration, and transaction verification and settlement. They will also validate test merchants, member authentication, and stablecoin payment and settlement functions based on a testnet.
Based on the validation results, NH Nonghyup Card plans to explore the potential for integrating its own simple payment platform, NH Pay, with existing financial payment networks and to develop commercialization strategies.
