Bank of America warns customers against sharing bank credentials with AI agents

On October 28, TechCrunch reported that Bank of America emailed customers warning them not to share bank account usernames and passwords with other people or outside services, including AI tools or agents acting on their behalf. The email said shared credentials can lead to financial actions the customer did not intend, locked accounts, or credential leaks through security flaws in an AI assistant. It also said customers are responsible for account activity that follows from sharing credentials. Banks and payment providers are still working out how to let AI agents access accounts and make payments on their own.
