US banks are closing the door on outside AI agents. Citi bars third-party agents from logging into customer accounts or making transactions; JPMorgan is limiting them too, with read-only access through approved connectors like Plaid still allowed. Reuters and Axios report Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo taking similar steps.
Dimon's reason: "you don't want rogue agents and there could be thousands of them." No unauthorised transfers have been reported so far.
Read yes, act no, is a sane default for any agent touching money.
