The product is a programmable, multi-currency virtual commercial card engineered specifically to allow artificial intelligence agents to carry out payments on behalf of businesses.

The announcement positions Sunrate at the forefront of a growing trend in enterprise fintech: delegating routine financial operations to AI systems.
