Major US banks block rogue AI agents operating inside customer accounts

  • —Morgan Stanley began blocking third-party agents, while JPMorgan, BofA and Citi restrict access
  • —JPMorgan CFO: customers who share logins with AI agents bear responsibility for their actions
  • —Two crypto cases: $106,200 via AIXBT dashboard and $175,000 via a malicious Grok message to Bankr
  • —Bankr recovered 80% of the funds; some banks are moving to read-only agent access
Why it matters: Banks are setting the liability standard for AI agents with money access, which will shape how crypto services safeguard user funds.
