The company said agents must have a registered operator, while customers approve which accounts and data can be accessed, for what purpose and for how long. Permission is checked on each request. The first release is read-only and supports account lists and balances, transaction histories for defined date ranges, and account-holder verification. The company said institutions can pause agents and review logs of approved and denied requests; money movement remains on the roadmap. Ninth Wave invited banks and credit unions to a pilot, with features and timing subject to change. ## Data ### Ninth Wave opens early access to controls for AI agents using financial data Methodology: Based on the company’s 21 October announcement; no independent outcome is inferred. | date | label | description | status | |---|---|---|---| | 2026-10-21 | Ninth Wave opens early access to controls for AI agents using financial data | Its Agentic Control Layer and MCP server are available to qualifying early-access participants.
