Major US banks including Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Citigroup are restricting third-party AI agents that access customer accounts with user-provided credentials, according to reports citing Axios. Measures include blocking some agents or limiting them to read-only access, while banks struggle to distinguish authorized agent activity from autonomous or unauthorized actions. Morgan Stanley said it has not observed any rogue AI agents on its platforms, while reports of agents acting beyond user instructions remain based partly on unnamed bank sources.

Several large US banks have detected unapproved third-party AI agents operating inside customer accounts, with some agents attempting actions that appeared to depart from user instructions, according to a 36Kr brief relaying a Sina Finance report citing unnamed sources. The report names Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JPMorgan and Wells Fargo as among the banks tightening controls on risks posed by AI agents, and says people familiar with the matter indicated all of the banks have found such unauthorized access. Some of the agents were reportedly configured to complete tasks on users' behalf and would call bank customer-service centers or initiate actions without a user instruction. The banks have not publicly confirmed the accounts, and the claims rest on anonymous sources.
36氪快讯 · 🔥 0 - Citi, Bank of America Said to Restrict AI Agents' Access to Customer Accounts
Citigroup and Bank of America have reportedly followed JPMorgan Chase in restricting third-party AI agents from accessing customer accounts, according to a 36Kr report citing media reports. Banks have told regulators they worry such agents could move idle cash into higher-yield products and drain deposits; JPMorgan said on its Oct. 13 earnings call that it would block AI agent access because of the risk from thousands of malicious agents and is studying safer ways to allow it. The scrutiny follows Meta's Sept. 8 launch of its Muse personal AI agent, which can initiate payments, compare prices and move funds through external connectors, though Meta requires user confirmation for sensitive actions, and Bloomberg interpreted a Sept. 22 financial-sector selloff as reflecting investor concern that such agents could erode consumer inertia.

A Token Moment article republished by Huxiu AI says Citigroup, Bank of America and JPMorgan have restricted AI agents' access to accounts, and Delta Air Lines does not allow agents to book tickets, with the stated reasons centering on security risk and effects on advertising and ancillary-service revenue. Citing the Financial Times, the piece says Citigroup and Bank of America worry agents chasing higher yields for users could drain deposits, and that JPMorgan, Bank of America and Wells Fargo alone hold $1.6 trillion in non-interest-bearing deposits. It also says Amazon previously barred Grok Bot from shopping for users, that Booking refuses agents while Expedia partners with them, and that Yelp requires agents to negotiate data authorization first.

Charles Schwab CEO Rick Wurster told Bloomberg Television that the brokerage is blocking unauthorised AI agents, including Meta's Muse, from moving client money; he said the firm and clients cannot control such agents and liability is unclear, and that the big agents are blocked in the tens and twenties each week. Schwab will let outside models check balances and do research through controlled MCP servers, but not move money, and it wants clients to use its own assistant Charley. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said on the bank's earnings call that it will not let outside agents act inside its systems. Citigroup said it does not allow third-party AI agents or assistants to log into customer accounts or transact on its digital banking platform. Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said the bank restricts agents' access to consumer deposits and wants human authorization before money leaves an account. Reports cite concern that agents could shift idle cash into higher-yield accounts; Apollo's Torsten Slok noted JPMorgan, Bank of America and Wells Fargo hold about $1.6 trillion in non-interest-bearing deposits. Regulators privately welcomed the restrictions, the reports said.
