Payment Controls

Payment controls are policies and technical safeguards that govern how AI systems can initiate, approve, or process financial transactions. In enterprise governance, these controls prevent unauthorized spending, limit the financial exposure from AI errors or misuse, and ensure that humans retain decision authority over material money movements. They matter because an AI system with unchecked payment access could accidentally drain resources, execute fraudulent transfers, or become a target for attackers seeking to move funds without oversight.
