RBC has blocked personal AI agents from accessing its online banking and additional services due to security concerns. The move follows reports of unvetted AI agents infiltrating U.S. bank accounts and warnings from BMO's CEO about threats for Canadians who share banking passwords with AI agents. The restrictions come amid rising fears over the security risks posed by third-party AI agents.
