Omise Co., Ltd., a prominent provider of online payment solutions in the Asia-Pacific region, has unveiled Omise MCP, a pioneering platform that connects AI agents to its extensive payment ecosystem. This initiative enables businesses to harness over 60 Omise payment tools securely and reliably without the need for bespoke API integrations, marking a significant stride towards autonomous, AI-driven financial operations.
The launch of Omise MCP embodies the company's mission to simplify payments and enhance financial technology innovation across the Asia-Pacific market. Unlike traditional systems where AI merely observes transactions, Omise MCP empowers AI agents to perform real payment tasks autonomously. These tasks span from accepting payments through various channels including cards, banks, e-wallets, and QR codes, to issuing refunds and automating labour-intensive processes such as reconciliation and supplier payouts. This evolution from passive fintech solutions to intelligent financial orchestration aims to help businesses scale efficiently while providing consumers with seamless payment experiences.
Omise MCP is underpinned by the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard facilitating secure and bidirectional integration between AI agents, large language models (LLMs), and external payment tools. Omise’s Group Chief Technology Officer, Amborish Acharya, emphasises that the platform is engineered for financial-grade reliability, ensuring security, predictability, and fault tolerance at scale. This foundation is critical for AI to take trusted actions within financial systems, unlocking new avenues for automation and operational autonomy.
The announcement follows Omise’s recent rebranding from Opn back to its original name, reaffirming its commitment to delivering intelligent, seamless payment solutions. Alongside Omise MCP, the company has introduced a suite of AI-powered features such as the Omise AI Assistant, Smart Routing, and the Generative Dashboard, designed to boost payment efficiency and security for businesses in Southeast Asia, the USA, and beyond.
Omise’s move aligns with a broader industry trend towards embedding AI across the payments lifecycle. For instance, Nuvei has introduced its AI-powered Integration Agent, allowing merchants to connect to its global payments infrastructure rapidly and with reduced error margins. Similarly, Worldpay launched its Worldpay MCP, offering open-source server specifications to accelerate AI-powered payment integrations and promote agent-enabled commerce innovation.
Beyond Omise’s regional focus, global fintech players are advancing AI-driven payment capabilities. Coinbase’s Payments MCP enables large language models to manage wallet and stablecoin operations via natural language commands, supported by a joint initiative with CloudFlare to standardize AI-driven payment systems. Mastercard has debuted Agentic Tokens to enable AI agents to transact securely and transparently on consumers’ behalf, aiming to extend these capabilities worldwide.
In banking, Narmi and Grasshopper Bank have launched an MCP server that provides personalised financial insights through AI assistants, enhancing client engagement by enabling secure, instant AI-generated responses about their financial data.
Omise MCP thus marks a significant development in the evolution of payments, from digital to intelligent, adaptive systems that collaborate with AI agents. As AI capabilities progress from generating responses to executing complex financial tasks autonomously, Omise and other innovators are redefining the future of commerce, where machines not only support but also actively conduct financial operations.
