美国金融巨头银行提醒客户安全银行,不与你的AI agent分享你的银行资格。
在一封名为“保护你在Al World的财务”的客户的电子邮件中,美国银行敦促客户永远不要与他人或外部服务分享他们的用户名和密码,“包括提供代表你行事的Al-United工具或agent”。
你几乎可以感受到发送邮件者的挫折感。 然而,客户也随着个人AI助手越来越受欢迎而越来越多地交出他们的登录。 与AI助手分享您的银行用户名及密码,更糟糕的是,AI助理的安全缺陷可能导致你银行的资质泄露到别处,给有经济动机的黑客进入你的银行账户。
银行仍在探索AI agents如何融入金融界,在TechCrunch Disrupt的舞台上讨论时,银行,支付提供商,以及处理商仍在尝试如何让客户使用AI工具访问他们的银行账户,如代理支付,这些工具允许人们设定agents以最佳价格或合适的时间自主购买物品。
美国银行没有立即答复关于电子邮件的评论请求。 但请注意银行的警告,因为如果事情出了问题,多数银行的账户协议规定,客户对其登录的任何人负责。 “如果你确实分享了你的全权证书,” 其电子邮件写道,“铭记着,你应对通过访问而产生的活动负责。”

Financial giant Bank of America is reminding customers to bank safely by kindly not sharing your banking credentials with your AI agent.
In an email blast to customers titled “Protecting your finances in the Al World,” Bank of America urged customers to never share their username and password with another person or an outside service, “including an Al-enabled tool or agent that offers to act on your behalf.”
You can practically sense the frustration in the person sending the email. Still, customers are increasingly handing over their log-ins as personal AI assistants grow more popular. Sharing your banking username and password with an AI assistant runs the risk that it could do something with your finances without your knowledge, or that your bank thinks someone’s raiding your account and locks you out of it. Worse, a security flaw in the AI assistant could result in it leaking your banking credentials elsewhere, giving financially motivated hackers a way into your bank account.
This latest warning comes as banks are still exploring how AI agents fit into the financial world but are reportedly grappling with unauthorized agents accessing their customers’ money. As we discussed onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt, banks, payment providers, and processors are still trying to figure out how to allow customers access to their bank accounts using AI tools, such as for agentic payments, which allow people to set agents to autonomously buy things at the best price or the right time.
Bank of America did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the email. But heed the bank’s warning, for if things go wrong, it’s on you. Account agreements at most banks hold customers responsible for anyone they give their log-in to. “If you do share your credentials,” its email reads, “keep in mind that you’re responsible for activity resulting from that access.”
