Developers Business customers Enterprise customers

AWS Bedrock added a new service section for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments, which enables developers to build payment solutions that route transactions between AI agents, third-party wallet providers, and sellers. The updated terms explicitly state that AWS does not provide regulated financial services, does not hold customer funds, and is not responsible for wallets, private keys, or wallet provider services. Developers using this feature are solely responsible for regulatory compliance, transaction monitoring, security safeguards, and any resulting disputes or payment liabilities.

2 new obligations

Developers: If you build payment solutions with this feature, you are responsible for ensuring your product meets all financial and industry regulations in the jurisdictions where you operate.

Developers: You must build security controls into your payment solution and remain responsible for protecting customer wallets and ensuring transaction accuracy.

What this means for you

This change introduces a new optional service feature rather than modifying existing consumer rights or obligations. AWS explicitly disclaims providing regulated financial services, holding custody of funds, or bearing responsibility for wallet providers or transactions. Developers who elect to use AgentCore Payments must comply with applicable financial regulations, implement their own security safeguards, and accept full liability for transactions and disputes. The terms do not impose obligations on end consumers using AI agents; the obligations fall on developers integrating the service.

What you can do

If integrating AgentCore Payments, review your own compliance obligations under applicable financial services regulations in your jurisdiction.

Verify the regulatory status and terms of each third-party wallet provider you plan to support.

Update your customer-facing terms and privacy notices to disclose that AWS does not provide financial services and that wallet providers are third parties under separate agreements.

Key Clauses Affected

AgentCore Payments Service Disclaimers (Section 50.15.2)

AWS explicitly disclaims providing regulated financial services, holding custody of funds or assets, and bearing responsibility for third-party wallet providers or their services.

Developer Compliance and Liability (Section 50.15.3)

Developers are solely responsible for regulatory compliance, obtaining required licenses, implementing security safeguards, and bearing all liability for transactions, disputes, and payment failures.
