Pulsar adds AI agents

Pulsar Money is adding artificial intelligence agents that can move money across bank rails, stablecoins and crypto without users manually switching assets. (pulsar.money) On its website, Pulsar says its app combines euro, U.S. dollar, British pound, Bitcoin, Ether and stablecoins in one account, then handles swaps and routing in the background. The company also says users can send money through Single Euro Payments Area, SWIFT and instant local rails from the same interface. (pulsar.money) The new pitch is delegated spending. Pulsar says users can hand a virtual card to an artificial intelligence agent, set budgets and limits, and let the agent handle purchases such as groceries, errands and recurring bills. (pulsar.money) That places Pulsar inside a fast-forming “agentic payments” market, where software does more than automate a fixed bill and instead chooses how to pay within rules set by a user. Fenwick said this week that 2026 is shaping up as a pivotal year for payments “initiated, managed, and executed” by adaptive AI systems. (fenwick.com) The money layer matters because traditional payment systems are fragmented by currency, banking hours and settlement rails. CoinDesk reported on April 22 that crypto is becoming the financial backend for autonomous software, while Forbes wrote in March that stablecoins let software send and verify payments in real time. (coindesk.com) (forbes.com) Pulsar has been building toward that model for longer than this launch. Its documentation describes the product as a “Smart Payments Hub” with existing tools for payment links, invoicing, token vaults, staking and “smart transfers” for payrolls, micropayments and other programmable payouts. (docs.pulsar.money 1) (docs.pulsar.money 2) The company is also selling convenience to users who do not want to think about wallets, chains or gas fees. Pulsar says deposits can come from Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum or a bank account, and that swaps between fiat and crypto happen without users managing the underlying chain complexity. (pulsar.money) Pulsar’s site says the fintech app is still in early access, even as the broader dashboard is already live. The closing test for the new agent feature will be whether users trust software with enough authority to spend, route and convert money on their behalf. (pulsar.money)
