AI Agent Governance Built for Banking Compliance

Your examiners — OCC, FDIC, NCUA, Fed — want to see a documented governance framework before you deploy AI agents on core banking workflows. NovoStrata gives you that framework out of the box.

Banks and credit unions face the most stringent AI oversight requirements of any regulated industry. SR 11-7 model risk management guidance, FFIEC examination expectations, and emerging AI governance frameworks from federal and state banking regulators all point to the same requirement: documented controls, human oversight, and explainable decisions. NovoStrata maps your AI agent governance directly to those requirements so your next exam is a demonstration, not a scramble.

Where We Move the Needle

Operational scenarios where our automation, tooling, and workflow design translate directly into measurable results.

BSA / AML Screening Agents

Transaction monitoring and SAR preparation agents — with approval gates on all filing decisions, immutable decision logs, and evidence packages formatted for FinCEN and examiner review.

Vendor Due Diligence Agents

Third-party risk management agents that review vendor documentation and flag risk — with human approval on all vendor approvals and rejection documentation for your TPRM program.

Exception Management Agents

Agents that route and resolve operational exceptions — with SLA tracking, escalation workflows, and full audit trails for your quality control and examination documentation.

Loan Review Agents

Credit risk review agents that analyze loan portfolios and flag concentration or policy exceptions — with explainability logs and approval gates on any risk rating change.

Regulatory Reporting Agents

Agents that compile Call Report data, HMDA submissions, and CRA activity documentation — with validation, review workflows, and approval sign-off before any regulatory filing.

Customer Remediation Agents

Agents that identify and process customer remediation scenarios — with human-in-the-loop approval on every remediation payment or account adjustment, and full audit documentation.

Compliance, Operational & Business Risks

Purpose-built controls and audit-ready workflows that reduce exposure across the regulated parts of your operation.

SR 11-7 / Model Risk Examination Findings

Federal banking examiners explicitly apply SR 11-7 model risk management guidance to AI agents. Without documented validation, governance, and monitoring, banks face MRA/MRIA findings.

FFIEC IT Examination Scrutiny

FFIEC examination handbooks address automated systems and AI governance. Banks need evidence of access controls, audit trails, and change management for AI agent systems.

BSA/AML Automated Decision Risk

Regulators expect human judgment — or documented evidence of equivalent controls — on suspicious activity determinations. Fully automated SAR processes without governance create enforcement risk.

Third-Party AI Risk

When AI agents are provided by third parties or interact with third-party systems, banks remain responsible for governance. NovoStrata's controls apply regardless of where the agent originates.
