Give Every AI Agent Its Own Virtual Card

Your AI agent is running on your company card right now. One prompt injection, one runaway loop, and it's maxed out. The fix is two Stripe Issuing calls. Create a cardholder — that's the agent's identity in Stripe. Create a virtual card under that cardholder with an all-time spend limit. Now each agent has its own card, its own cap, and its own paper trail. When you kill the agent, freeze the card. When the job finishes, you can see exactly what it spent, where, and why — because the cardholder ID maps directly to your agent ID. This is what Mastercard calls agentic tokenization: one identity, one card, one limit, per agent. Stripe makes it two API calls. Five minutes to implement. Zero blast radius when something goes wrong. Save this. Link in bio for the full Stripe Issuing agent wallet pattern.
