Singapore's major banks warn against customers using third-party AI agents to access accounts due to security risks and unclear liability when bots perform unauthorised transactions. The Monetary Authority of Singapore has proposed a regulatory framework to manage AI agent risks in financial services, while banks explore controlled AI usage and AI-driven defence mechanisms.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must adapt your product to handle AI agents securely or risk losing customers as banks clamp down on third-party bots. The rise of AI-driven unauthorised transactions means you face a liability challenge that needs clear audit trails and controlled AI permissions.
