Citigroup and Bank of America restrict AI agent access to customer accounts
Citigroup and Bank of America have imposed limits on how AI agents interact with customer deposit and investment accounts. Both firms are gating autonomous agent capabilities pending further testing and compliance review.
WHY IT MATTERS
First major US retail bank pullback on autonomous agent deployment. Signals that early agent integrations revealed operational or fraud-control gaps. Likely triggers industry pause and tighter vendor SLAs.
