New Model Context Protocol (MCP) server will connect approved AI agents with customer-permissioned financial data under institution-defined controls. Ninth Wave invites banks and credit unions to participate in a read-only pilot program.
“Banks need a practical way to let AI serve their customers while keeping control over access to financial information,” said George Anderson, Founder and CEO of Ninth Wave. “The questions are straightforward: Who does the agent represent? What is it allowed to see? Does that permission still apply? Our Agentic Control Layer is designed to make those checks part of how financial data is accessed.
Designed for financial institutions of all sizes, the framework will support AI assistants that help customers understand spending, forecast cash flow, and check balances through permissioned API access.
AI agents are moving beyond answering questions to performing tasks on behalf of consumers and businesses. Financial institutions need visibility into those agents and control over the data they can access. The Agentic Control Layer gives institutions a governed access path for approved agents.
The first release is read-only, supporting account lists and balances, transaction history within defined date ranges, and account-holder verification.
