t54 Labs, the trust layer for the agentic economy, announced it has signed three separate memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with RiskX, Hecto Financial and Arco Financial. The agreements cover proposed work in AI agent payments, personalized structured investments and financial asset management workflows.
The collaborations build upon t54’s ongoing relationships with financial services and technology companies, helping them integrate AI agents into their operations through secure, scalable payment infrastructure. As part of the agreements with RiskX, Hecto Financial and Arco Financial, t54 will explore how its infrastructure can help verify the identity and authority of agents requesting financial transactions on behalf of users.
“Agent payments require more than a payment method; they also require a process for verifying that the authority granted to an agent aligns with the actual transaction,” said Chandler Fang, co-founder of t54.

Hecto Financial, a South Korean provider of payment, banking and settlement services, and t54 will explore connecting Trustline, t54’s risk engine, with existing payment infrastructure to support agent identity verification and transaction risk assessment.
The initial focus is assessing the feasibility of Know Your Agent (KYA) verification on Hecto Financial’s AI Payment Platform, which is currently under development. Discussions are expected to expand to checking whether agent-requested payments align with user intent and authorized limits before execution. The companies will also explore potential applications connecting merchants with AI agents through automated payment systems.
