ATLANTA, GA , Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trust Stamp (Nasdaq: IDAI), a global provider of AI-powered trust, identity, and security solutions, today announced a new product ensuring Knowing ConsentTM for transactions initiated by Agentic-AI. The product utilizes proprietary processes protected by existing issued patents together with a new process that is being patented and is ready for immediate use. .
As AI agents move from answering questions to taking actions, financial institutions are confronting a difficult question: when an agent uses a customer’s credentials, how can a bank distinguish the customer’s present intent from the agent’s actions? In a NIST Cybersecurity Insights article, NIST’s Bill Fisher and Ryan Galluzzo wrote, “Credential sharing is a bad idea in all contexts,” warning that it can create accountability gaps. Recent bank responses show the issue is already practical: Reuters reported that major U.S. banks are blocking some third-party agents from customer accounts. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon described unrestricted outside agents as “too risky for clients and for JPMorgan.”
Trust Stamp’s agentic-authorization distinguishes an AI-Agent initiating a request from the human account owner and ensures that the account holder consents to each transaction in a fast, low friction process. The authorization flow can be initiated by the AI-Agent or the financial institution. On first use, the customer completes biometric registration to create a personal identity token. For subsequent requests, the customer can be prompted to complete a secure selfie through SMS, email, push-notification or in the relevant software application. Proof-of-life and anti-spoofing checks, with optional device verification and other authentication protocols, ensure that the account owner is present at the point that approval is requested and freely gives Knowing ConsentTM.
The distinction matters when an AI-Agent has been given broad access in advance, or when its behavior is changed by error or manipulation. A stored password or earlier permission should not, by itself, be treated as proof that the customer knowingly approved a particular financial action. In an integrated deployment, the authorization screen should show the specific action and relevant details before the customer completes the live verification. The AI-Agent can then initiate the workflow, while the customer’s fresh approval is tied to the specific request being considered. Our approach is human-centered, identifying the human customer and ensuring that they give Knowing ConsentTM versus identifying AI-Agents.
Trust Stamp CEO, Gareth N. Genner explained: “Trust Stamp’s approach reflects the need for controls at the moment an AI-Agent acts. JPMorganChase has said that agent safeguards must operate “at the point of execution,” while RBC says third-party agents may store customer passwords and has therefore blocked their direct access to authenticated online banking. Trust Stamp has over one hundred financial institutions integrated to our Orchestration Layer and this biometric-based authorization provides a way to add a live, customer-centered approval step to Agent-Initiated activity that can be implemented in a matter of days, either via the Orchestration Layer or through a single API call. The process is triggered within the institution’s own access and transaction policies, and with no significant changes to the flow of their authentication process. While there are multiple theoretical proposals in the media focused on Agent-Identity, these human-centered processes already exist and are proven to be effective.”
