Bank of America warns customers not to give AI agents their banking login
Bank of America emailed customers telling them never to share their username and password with another person or outside service, and it named AI tools and agents that offer to act on your behalf. The email also says customers who do share their login are responsible for the activity that follows, and TechCrunch notes most bank account agreements work this way. A bank spokesperson confirmed the email is genuine. TechCrunch lists the risks: an agent moving money without your knowledge, the bank locking the account as suspicious, or a security flaw in the agent leaking the login.
Why it matters: If you are trying browser agents for finance chores, do not hand them bank or payroll logins. Use exports, official integrations or approval steps instead, and check what your own bank's terms say about shared access.
