JPMorgan and Schwab block AI agents like Muse from accounts

Schwab CEO Rick Wurster and JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon both drew a hard line this week. Agents can look at your money, the banks say, but they cannot touch it.

    • Wurster told Bloomberg TV: "We can't control it, the client can't control it, something could go wrong and who's liable?" He gets weekly reports on blocked agents, in the tens per week.
    • Dimon said on JPMorgan's Oct 13 earnings call: "We're not going to allow just any outside agent to come in inside the company, because it's just too risky."
    • Meta's Muse was named among the tools now locked out of direct account access.
    • The unresolved question: when an AI agent moves money and something goes wrong, who pays? Congress is still debating agent liability.
    • JPMorgan still allows read-only access through open-banking connectors; only money movement is blocked. Schwab says blocks run "in the tens and twenties" weekly.
    • Citigroup's Jane Fraser wants identity and authentication solved first; Amazon already blocks Muse purchases on its site.
