AI Agents Need New Payment Rails | Tech News

AI agents are getting smarter—handling everything from vendor hunting to shipping—but still can’t pay bills without human help, thanks to legacy financial systems built for people, not bots. Enter Natural, a new startup with $30M in funding, aiming to overhaul payments by letting AI agents transact autonomously. Founded by a banking veteran who once fled finance, Natural’s tech acts as an orchestration layer for AI to move, store, and manage funds—without human intervention. Backed by Kirsten Green and poised to challenge giants like Stripe, Natural’s vision is to rebuild the entire payment infrastructure for the AI era, speeding transactions to computer speed and unlocking massive volume. They’re hiring top fintech talent and betting big on becoming the backbone of AI-driven finance. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
