JPMorgan, Amazon and Bank of America restrict external AI agents' access
JPMorgan Chase and Amazon are blocking external AI agents over security risks and data leakage. Bank of America warned customers by email that they may be liable if they hand their banking logins to AI agents, while regulators have lagged on liability rules (2–6 November 2026).
Who is affected and how
- retail customer
- According to the bank, giving an AI agent access to a bank account is at the customer's own risk, so login credentials should not be handed over.
- banking professional
- Agent access needs a dedicated policy and customer communication; general terms of use are not enough.
- fintech company
- Agent-based services may be blocked by large banks, so an official access solution is needed.
