About this session
As Japan moves deeper into a “do it for me” style of economy, retail payments are beginning to shift from transactions initiated directly by consumers to payments executed on their behalf. Digital services are increasingly being authorised to manage recurring bills, subscriptions, travel arrangements, and everyday purchases – selecting merchants, initiating payments, and operating directly on real-time payment infrastructure.
This roundtable examines the transition from direct consumer action to delegated execution, and the implications this shift has for policy, consumer protection, and payments infrastructure. Using a realistic Japanese retail use case as its foundation, the discussion explores what changes when transactions are carried out without an explicit, real-time action by the consumer, including emerging risk profiles, new avenues for misuse, and evolving regulatory considerations.
Participants will consider the core questions that payment providers, regulators, and market operators now need to address: who is recognised as the payer when execution is delegated; how authority, limits, and revocation should be structured and enforced; where liability sits when delegated arrangements are misused or result in consumer harm; and what forms of evidence are required to support disputes, refunds, and redress. Set against the backdrop of Japan’s instant payment infrastructure, the session aims to outline practical policy and market considerations for enabling delegated retail payments at scale, while maintaining trust, efficiency, and strong consumer protection.
日本で「おまかせ型」のサービスが広がるなか、リテール決済は、消費者が自ら実行する取引から、代理で実行される決済へと移り始めています。定期請求やサブスクリプション、旅行の手配、日々の買い物に至るまで、デジタルサービスが利用者から権限を受け、加盟店の選定や支払いの実行を担い、即時に処理される決済システムを通じて直接取引する事例が増えているのです。
本ラウンドテーブルでは、消費者による直接操作から代理実行への移行に焦点を当て、この変化が政策、消費者保護、決済インフラにどのような影響をもたらすのかを検討します。日本のリテール領域における具体的なユースケースを起点に、消費者の明示的かつリアルタイムな操作を伴わずに取引が実行される場合、何が変わるのかを議論します。新たに顕在化するリスク、不正利用の可能性、そして変化しつつある規制上の論点を整理します。
議論では、決済事業者、規制当局、そして決済インフラの運営機関が直面する核心的な問いにも踏み込みます。代理実行の場合、誰が「支払者」と認識されるのか。権限や限度額、取消しの仕組みはどのように設計し、執行すべきか。不正利用や消費者への被害が発生した際、責任はどこに帰属するのか。紛争解決や返金、救済措置には、どのような証拠が必要となるのか。
日本の即時決済インフラを背景に、本セッションでは、信頼性や効率性、強固な消費者保護を維持しながら、委任型リテール決済を大規模に展開するための政策と市場の制度設計の両面での実務的課題を整理します。 -

About this session
AI is reshaping financial services faster than traditional rulemaking can keep pace - not only through new models, but through new ways of deploying and combining existing techniques across products, channels, and infrastructure. This open roundtable brings together regulators, industry leaders, and researchers to explore how “test‑and‑learn” approaches (sandboxes, pilots, evaluation methods, shared experiments) can generate evidence that builds trust without stifling innovation. A dedicated chapter will examine agentic payments as a practical test case: where AI is beginning to progress payment workflows, what enables safe scaling, and what concerns matter most. The discussion then widens to parallels across other parts of finance and intersections with programmable money (DLT/tokenisedpayments) and emerging security horizons. The session is designed to be conversational, practical, and forward-looking - surfacing lessons that travel across jurisdictions and sectors.
AIは、従来の規制の動きを上回る速度で、金融サービスの姿を変えています。その変化は、新しいモデルの登場だけによるものではありません。既存の技術を製品やチャネル、インフラを横断して組み合わせ、活用する新しい手法が広がっていることも大きな要因となっています。
本オープンラウンドテーブルでは、規制当局、業界のリーダー、研究者が集まり、試験運用を重ねながら改善していく「テスト・アンド・ラーン」型の取り組み(サンドボックス、パイロットテスト、評価手法、共同実験など)によって、イノベーションを妨げることなく、信頼につながる確かな根拠をどう積み上げられるのかを探ります。あわせて、エージェント型決済を実践的な検証例として取り上げます。AIが決済の流れをどのように変え始めているのか、安全に広げていくために何が必要なのか、そして何が主な懸念となるのかを検討します。
議論はさらに広がり、金融のほかの分野との共通点や、プログラマブルマネー(DLTやトークン化された決済)との接点、そしてこれから浮上してくる新たなセキュリティ課題にも目を向けます。本セッションは、対話を重視し、実務に根ざしながら将来を見据えた議論を行います。法域や業界を越えて共有できる教訓や示唆を見いだすことを目指します。 -
