Brian Armstrong highlighted that a significant majority (76%) of agentic commerce transactions are valued at less than 30 cents. This contrasts sharply with traditional payment methods like debit or credit cards, which have a minimum fee of approximately 30 cents, making them inefficient for such small transactions and underscoring the need for new payment solutions.
“And as you probably know, the minimum fee typically on a debit or credit card transaction is about 30 cent fee flat, plus the additional percentage. So arguably, it doesn't really work well for anything under a dollar. Certainly anything under 30 cents, like it doesn't make sense to pay 30 cents to send a one cent payment.”
“And I believe the stats we last saw on this is that about like 76% of the agentic commerce transactions we're seeing are under 30 cents.”
