JPMorgan and Wall Street Giants Block AI Agents Over Security Fears

Wall Street has discovered a new kind of customer it doesn’t particularly want: artificial intelligence (AI) software or agents capable of logging into bank accounts and moving money without a human touching the keyboard. JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup and other financial heavyweights are tightening restrictions on third-party AI agents, with unauthorized transactions firmly in their crosshairs. The crackdown exposes a growing problem for traditional banking: Machines can increasingly operate at financial speed, but banks still depend on security systems designed around human behavior, passwords, and approvals. Reports published this week describe how major U.S. banks have detected third-party AI agents accessing customer accounts, sometimes using credentials voluntarily supplied by account holders. The catch? A legitimate password doesn’t necessarily mean the account owner approved every subsequent action.
