Human-in-the-Loop Payment Approval
Agents submit payment requests that route to a designated human approver before executing. Approvers receive notifications via email or webhook and can approve, reject, or modify the amount. Configurable per-agent or per-task type.
🎛️
Configurable Spending Limits Per Task
Set hard limits on what any individual agent or task can spend in a session, per day, or per month. Requests that exceed the limit are automatically held for approval rather than failing silently, preserving the agent's ability to retry.
📋
Audit Trail for All Payments
Every payment request, approval decision, and fund movement is logged with timestamps, agent identity, task context, and approver identity. Exportable for compliance reporting, cost allocation, and debugging agent spend patterns.
💰
USD + USDC Support
Supports both traditional USD payments (ACH, wire) and USDC stablecoin payments from a single wallet abstraction. Useful for agents that need to pay both traditional vendors and crypto-native services.

Ratings based on Payman AI documentation and published API reference — not end-to-end production testing. Chain coverage is intentionally low; Payman focuses on USD/USDC rather than DeFi breadth.
