What happened
Charles Schwab has begun blocking third-party Artificial Intelligence agents from moving client funds, according to CEO Rick Wurster. This restriction specifically targets outside AI agents, such as Meta’s Muse, that attempt financial transactions after users supply account credentials. Schwab is deploying controlled Model Context Protocol servers instead of granting broad operational access to these agents.

Why it matters
The move highlights growing anxiety among financial institutions regarding autonomous software managing client money. Schwab stated that the lack of clear liability standards for autonomous AI actions is a primary concern driving the operational policy change.
