Link (Stripe)
In short
Link is Stripe's consumer wallet, which Stripe says more than 300 million people use. Through Link Agent Wallet an agent never sees card numbers: the user approves each spend and the agent gets a single-use credential. It ships as a command-line tool and a TypeScript SDK, and can also read shared account data.
