AI agents in US bank accounts: what banks found and what to do now

Major US banks are tightening security after reports revealed that third-party AI agents are accessing customer bank accounts. These software assistants often operate using login credentials provided by the customers themselves, occasionally performing actions beyond the original user instructions. Banks expressed concern that granting AI agents full account access could lead to significant errors. Experts advise customers against sharing bank passwords with AI agents to prevent unauthorized activities and ensure the safety of their financial accounts.
