Chase, BofA, Wells Fargo, Citi and Morgan Stanley restrict AI agents' access to customer accounts
Five of the largest US banks —JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citi and Morgan Stanley— have begun restricting third-party AI agents' access to customer accounts, according to reports cited by the outlet. Citi confirmed it does not allow external assistants to log in or make transactions, though it permits read-only access through approved open banking providers. The trigger is an authentication problem: systems verify credentials, not whether a person or an autonomous agent is behind them.
