AI is becoming a budget and security-control problem for payments firms, with Ramp and FIS moving in different directions to manage the same operational pressure, Banking Dive reported on July 22, 2026.

Ramp introduced an AI spend management tool for finance teams, while FIS joined Anthropic's Project Glasswing to test a model against payment-infrastructure vulnerabilities.

Ramp’s tool groups AI spending by department, employee, project and model provider.

FIS is testing Anthropic’s model against vulnerabilities in payment-infrastructure software.

Ramp Adds AI Spend Management For Finance Teams

Ramp said in its July 16 release that the new tool tracks spending with providers including OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini.

It aggregates AI expenditure by company, department, employee or project, giving finance teams a view of token usage before costs are consolidated into invoices.

The workflow is built around limits and alerts.

Finance teams can restrict token usage by category, receive notices when spending surges and warn employees before overruns occur.

Ramp's release placed the product inside a fast-growing cost category, saying AI token spending had become the fastest growing area of business spend while finance teams had little visibility into how the money was being used.

Ramp did not publish customer-level savings, deployment counts or evidence that its alerts changed employee behaviour.

FIS Tests Anthropic Model For Payment Infrastructure Security

The Anthropic partnership is aimed at security, not finance visibility.

FIS's July 17 release named Project Glasswing, Anthropic's initiative for finding software vulnerabilities, and placed the payments processor inside a programme that Anthropic's website also lists with Google, JPMorgan Chase and Amazon Web Services.

Mythos 5 is the model FIS named for the test.

The payments processor is using it to protect payments infrastructure, a different operating surface from Ramp's spend dashboard because payment processors handle transaction systems where software weaknesses can become fraud, outage or compliance risks.

FIS already has a separate commercial relationship with Anthropic for AI agents.

The Project Glasswing work adds a security-testing layer to that relationship, but the public material does not include vulnerability counts, benchmark methodology or post-testing remediation data.

Ramp And FIS Have Not Disclosed Adoption Or Security Outcomes

Ramp applies its controls before AI costs reach an invoice.

FIS applies Anthropic’s model during payment-software security testing.

The company materials do not provide audited savings, customer adoption figures, vulnerability counts or measured security outcomes.

Ramp’s $750M Round Turns AI Spend Controls Into a Fintech Growth Test

Ramp raised $750 million at a $44 billion valuation as the corporate expense platform broadens from spend management into payments, procurement, fraud detection and accounting. The company said it has more than $1 billion in annualized revenue, over 70,000 customers and more than $3 billion raised in total. The practical question is whether token-spend controls and AI-agent payments become durable revenue lines rather than investor-friendly positioning.
