Wells Fargo shifts AI agent liability to customers on November 24, three days before Black Friday

Apple's $299 HomeView ships in the US on November 13, and Wells Fargo's updated Online Access Agreement takes effect November 24. Black Friday falls three days later, on November 27. Section 15 of the Wells Fargo agreement deems any instruction an AI agent executes as authorised by the customer, without further verification. It says use of an AI agent is "AT YOUR OWN RISK," and the bank does not monitor agent activity. The bank may limit, suspend, or terminate agent access at any time. Merchants look unprepared. An October 24 analysis found 11% of small and mid-sized merchants and 19% of large merchants agent-ready. Among consumers, 58% research with AI, but only 17% are comfortable letting it complete a purchase. HomeView remains unavailable in the EU.

Wells Fargo names Kleber Santos sole consumer bank chief as Van Beurden shifts to AI

Wells Fargo has named Kleber Santos sole chief executive of its consumer banking and lending business. Saul Van Beurden, formerly co-chief executive of that segment, moves to a full-time artificial intelligence (AI) role. Both appointments take effect immediately. Santos will oversee consumer deposits, credit cards, business banking, and auto lending. Van Beurden will focus on scaling AI adoption across the bank, including deepening its work with AI firms. "Kleber and Saul have built strong momentum in both areas, and having each focus fully on these priorities will help us accelerate that progress," chief executive Charlie Scharf said. Wells rose to No. 5 globally and No. 3 in the US on the Evident AI index for banks.
