Sokin Connects Licensed Payment Infrastructure to Customer AI Tools
Sokin, the global financial platform powering how businesses transact, manage and optimize money in an agentic world, has connected its licensed payment infrastructure to customers’ AI tools through its new Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector.
The company stated that the MCP enables finance teams to use AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity for financial operations directly within their conversations.
The connector supports tasks including:
- Creating a live cash position estimate
- Preparing a cross-border payment for approval
- Retrieving live account information
- Working with foreign-exchange information
- Preparing financial instructions without leaving the AI conversation
Sokin stated that the connector is designed to provide access to its payment infrastructure through the AI tools customers may use to conduct and orchestrate financial operations.
Sokin MCP Connector Supports Financial Operations
The MCP connector extends beyond information retrieval.
According to Sokin, the connector can create a beneficiary, prepare a currency exchange between supported wallets and prepare a payment.
For each supported instruction:
- The customer’s AI tool assembles the instruction.
- The full details are presented to the customer.
- The customer confirms the instruction.
- Existing customer-configured approval rules apply where applicable.
- The instruction then proceeds toward execution and settlement.
Sokin stated that each payment still requires human confirmation before it runs on its licensed payment rails.
Company Commentary
Vroon Modgill, Founder and CEO of Sokin, said:
“In an agent rush, the advantage sits with whoever owns the infrastructure underneath. The Sokin MCP makes our licensed infrastructure directly accessible where clients will ultimately conduct and orchestrate financial operations in the future; through AI.”
The company stated that its MCP connector is intended to make its licensed infrastructure accessible through the AI environment in which customers conduct and orchestrate financial operations.
Testing Shows Multi-Currency Invoice and Treasury Workflow
Sokin stated that testing of its MCP connector handled 10 multi-currency invoices and treasury moves in under 10 minutes.
According to the company, the workflow gave accounts payable teams hours back compared with the time they would normally spend entering the transactions manually.
The company also emphasized that the automation does not remove the customer confirmation step. Each payment continues to wait for human confirmation before execution on Sokin’s licensed rails.
Sokin’s Licensed Payment Infrastructure
Sokin stated that the MCP capability is supported by its underlying payment infrastructure, including licenses across 36 countries.
The company stated that it can:
- Move money to more than 170 countries
- Support transactions in more than 70 currencies
- Operate its own settlement infrastructure
- Settle prepared instructions on Sokin-owned and licensed payment rails
This infrastructure provides the foundation through which prepared financial instructions can proceed to settlement.
Sokin MCP Moves Beyond Information Retrieval
Pete Daunton, Chief Strategy Officer at Sokin, described the distinction between read-only AI connectors and Sokin’s approach:
“A read-only connector, which is what most MCPs in this space are right now, is a search bar with more personality. It tells a finance team where the money is and hands the work straight back to them,”
Daunton added:
“Our MCP reaches the tools that create a beneficiary, quote an exchange rate and prepare a payment. The ability to give an agent real work is what is going to save our customers a lot of time and what they are going to love most about this.”
Three Routes to Sokin
Sokin stated that customers already access its services through the Sokin portal or by embedding Sokin into their own platforms through APIs.
The MCP connector adds a third route, through compatible AI and Large Language Models, including Claude and ChatGPT.
This gives authorized users an additional way to interact with Sokin’s financial infrastructure through compatible AI tools.
Through the Sokin MCP Connector, an Authorized User’s AI Agent
Sokin stated that an authorized user’s AI agent can perform the following functions:
- Prepare a beneficiary, currency exchange or single payment, then present the full instruction for customer confirmation.
- Return wallet balances and transaction activity for every corporate account the authorized user can access.
- Retrieve a current FX quote for an exchange between supported Sokin wallets.
- Find an existing beneficiary or check new beneficiary details against the requirements of the payment route.
- Return the latest payment status and the account details required to fund a wallet.
Sokin stated that these capabilities combine information retrieval with the preparation of financial operations while retaining customer confirmation and applicable approval controls.
