美国银行提醒客户：不要向 AI 助手透露银行密码
Bank of America kindly asks that you don’t share your banking password with your AI assistant
美国银行向客户发送题为“在 AI 世界中保护你的财务”的邮件，警告不要将用户名和密码分享给任何外部服务，包括“声称可代你操作的 AI 工具或智能体”。银行指出，向 AI 助手透露银行凭证可能导致其在不知情下动用资金、触发风控锁号，或因 AI 助手的安全漏洞泄露凭证。多数银行的账户协议规定，客户需对使用其登录信息产生的活动负责。

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.”
