Visa and Lianlian Advance Trusted B2B Agentic Commerce Through LoopXPay's First Live B2B Agentic Transaction

Visa and Lianlian DigiTech Co., Ltd. have announced the execution of the first live B2B agentic transaction in Greater China, utilizing Lianlian's AI agent known as LoopXPay. The announcement, made in Singapore on July 24, 2026, showcases how AI-enabled commerce can assist small and medium-sized businesses in streamlining their purchasing and payment processes.[1][2]

Many small and medium-sized businesses lack dedicated procurement teams, which often forces them to spend valuable time sourcing items, purchasing goods, and processing payments themselves. In this transaction, the LoopXPay AI agent was used to source a product sample from a supplier and complete the purchase in a single workflow.[1][2]

The B2B transaction was supported by Visa's Agentic Directory for trusted AI agent interactions. Lianlian operates as an AI-native global financial infrastructure provider, while Visa is a global leader in digital payments.[1][2]
