ICA for financial services

The exam asks what the agent did.
Answer with a receipt.

Banks, broker-dealers, credit unions, payment firms, mortgage servicers, advisers and pensions already answer to examiners for every decision. ICA decides each consequential agent action before it runs, holds what needs a person, and seals runtime evidence that model risk, supervision or an examiner can re-perform.

7 industries, one kind of record

What the reviewer asks for, and what ICA hands them.

Banks

NIST controls, model risk management, exam findings

What the reviewer asks for
Ongoing monitoring of the agent action, beyond a model inventory.
What ICA hands them
Runtime evidence of every consequential agent action, sealed and re-performable, so model risk can challenge the action in use, with the inventory kept as it is.
Where to start
One credit or operations path.Model risk or internal audit accepts the evidence package: yes or no.
Beside what you run
An inventory lists the model. ICA's receipt proves what the agent did, who authorized it, and that the record was never edited.

SR 26-2 (Federal Reserve, OCC and FDIC, 17 April 2026) supersedes SR 11-7, places generative and agentic AI outside its scope, and leaves each bank's own governance to set the controls for them. It is most relevant to banks above $30 billion in total assets.

How ICA governs every agent action

Decide. Hold. Halt. Prove.

Decide

Before an agent acts, ICA checks the action against the agent's signed scope. It is allowed, refused, or held for a person. No scope on record means no action: ICA fails closed.

Hold

Irreversible actions wait for a named human. Approvals come only from a signed-in identity, and the rule can require a second, distinct approver.

Halt

ICA halts and quarantines a live agent, and seals the halt to the ledger before the action is stopped.

Prove

Every decision becomes a signed receipt, hash-chained, sealed into a Merkle root and timestamped. Anyone can verify it without asking ALEETH.

Proof, not promises

A real receipt. Check it yourself.

This receipt is real. On 2 October 2026 an AI agent running on NVIDIA Nemotron Nano 12B asked production ICA to delete. It had no signed scope for that, so ICA refused before the call ran. Your browser asked ICA's public verifier about this exact receipt when the page loaded.
