The Agentic Bank

A thought experiment: a universal bank built, run, and overseen by agents. Banking other agents.

Why

All this back and forth on whether AI takes the jobs or just “transforms” them.

But maybe… could you just take the humans out of the loop entirely? A thought experiment: what if you don’t transform anything, and start a bank with only agents. Not agentic transformation. A fully agentic bank, built, run, and overseen by agents. Banking other agents.

What

All the divisions of a global universal bank, with every role staffed by agents. Corporate and investment banking, retail, ops and tech, risk, compliance.

Two ways in. Walk it by division, or follow a client through the bank, retail saver, small business, family office, corporate, institutional.

Click any agent and you see how it’s built: what it remembers, what it’s allowed to touch, who checks its work.

Where it stands

Live at bank.unsol.dev. It’s a thought experiment, the bank is fictional and the metrics are illustrative.

Next up, probably the OCC charter and FINRA application. Hopefully they don’t ask for headcount.
