Cruise Money Unveils India’s Agentic Card for AI Payments
Cruise Money showed a new card that uses artificial intelligence to help manage money.
A user can tell the AI what they want to buy or save for in a chat.
The AI calculates how much money is safe to spend after considering bills, savings, and other commitments.
The user approves the rules once, including the amount and types of purchases allowed.
The AI can then make approved purchases, such as groceries, subscriptions, flights, or hotels.
It must stop if a purchase would interfere with a savings goal.
LivQuik will issue the virtual prepaid card, and M2P Fintech will provide the technology infrastructure.
The card cannot launch publicly until it receives regulatory approvals.
Cruise Money previewed an AI-powered virtual prepaid card at Global Fintech Fest 2026 in Mumbai.
The card calculates a user’s “Safe to Spend” amount using income, bills, EMIs, investments, savings, and financial goals.
After one chat-based approval, the AI agent can plan and execute purchases within user-defined limits and guardrails.
LivQuik Technology will issue the card, while M2P Fintech provides its API infrastructure.
The card is awaiting regulatory approvals, with phased access planned for waitlist members.
