Short answer

How can I automate bank onboarding with my AI?

Your agent uses Yodlee to check which banks are available and then triggers the verification process for new users. This moves the manual work of finding providers and checking accounts into your agent's hands. You'll see the specific outcomes below.

Onboarding outcomes

Where your data lands

The AI handles the technical checks so you don't have to.

DISCOVERY

Supported bank list

The AI identifies which financial institutions are available. You get a clean list of providers to show in your app.

VALIDATION

Verified accounts

The agent runs the verification steps for new users. This confirms the account is real and ready for use.

STATUS

Real-time tracking

Your AI monitors the progress of every verification request. You can ask your agent for a status update on any specific user.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If a verification fails or a bank isn't supported, the AI flags it for you. You decide how to handle edge cases.

The workflow

What your AI does when a new user arrives.

The agent takes over the repetitive tasks of checking bank availability and validating credentials.

  1. Find banks

    The agent looks up the full list of financial institutions that Yodlee supports to see if the user's bank is an option.

    list_providers

  2. Select provider

    Once the user picks a bank, the agent pulls the specific details for that provider to prepare the connection.

    get_provider

  3. Start verification

    The agent initiates the formal account verification process for the user's specific bank account.

    create_verification

  4. Check results

    The agent monitors the verification status to confirm the account is successfully linked and ready.

    get_verification

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI add new banks to Yodlee?

    No. The AI can only list and interact with the providers already available in the Yodlee system.

  • 02

    Does the AI handle the user's actual bank login?

    The AI triggers the verification process, but the actual secure login happens through the Yodlee-supported flow.

  • 03

    Can my AI delete a verification once it's done?

    No. The tools only allow for creating and checking the status of verifications.

  • 04

    Can I ask the AI to check a specific verification status?

    Yes, your agent can use the verification tools to check the status of any active request.

  • 05

    Will the AI automatically retry failed verifications?

    No. The AI will report the failure to you, and you must decide if you want to trigger a new verification manually.
