Sequence Agentic - Money movement for AI agents
by•
Sequence is the financial execution layer for AI agents.
Unlike read-only tools, your agent uses the Sequence API to send, split, and route real money across all your bank accounts, cards, apps, and loans. Scoped API keys mean agents never hold your credentials, server-side spending limits keep you in control, and full audit trails log every action. The infrastructure is battle-tested in production on regulated rails, moving north of $3B. One-call integration from Claude, n8n, Zapier etc.

how are the scoped keys actually secured against an agent going off-script and draining a connected account, and is there a kill switch that triggers automatically on weird spending patterns?

@hlya133826 Good question - it comes down to what the key can reach in the first place.
Each key is scoped to a specific set of accounts you've approved: the sources it can pull from, the destinations it can send to, and a max amount per transfer — all enforced server-side on every transfer.
Since every account is one you've connected and approved up front, there's no unknown account for the agent to reach. And you can revoke a key instantly, any time.
Let us know if you have any other questions 🙌
Plugged it into a quick n8n flow to split a payment across two cards and was surprised it just worked without me babysitting the auth flow. The scoped keys feel like the right call for actually trusting an agent with real money.

@yusuf363917 Love this. Trusting an agent with real money is exactly the bar we're trying to clear, so glad the scoped keys land that way for you!
finally got my Claude agent to actually pay a vendor without me babysitting it. the scoped key setup felt surprisingly clean and the audit trail saved me a ton of guessing when something went sideways.

@cetinalpca34281 Really glad it worked cleanly. We obsessed over the control and traceability side, so good to know it paid off in practice 🙌
The scoped keys with server-side spending limits are a really thoughtful touch, makes letting an agent touch real money feel way less sketchy.
Sequence
@irmak2070596 Thanks! Moving money should feel safe by default rather than require a leap of faith, so this means a lot to hear
How does the audit trail actually work in practice, like can I see exactly which agent triggered a transaction and replay the reasoning behind it? Also wondering if the scoped keys can be limited by merchant category or just by amount.
Sequence
@adem132916 scoped keys can be limited by amount and destination account, but not by merchant category.
Audit trail right now allows for auditing actions, not agent's intent. But we hear your voice, stay tuned!
Finally an API that lets my Claude agent actually move money without me hovering. The scoped keys and per-call spending caps felt surprisingly mature for something this new.
Sequence
@ensar90917 Appreciate it 🙏 The whole point was letting the agent act while you step back, so the guardrails had to be solid from the start. Great to hear they held up for you
Genuinely useful for letting my agents handle bill splits without handing them my raw bank creds, the scoped keys and spending caps feel thoughtfully built. Setup was straightforward on my Zapier side.
Sequence
@niyazi1136526 Appreciate it! Not exposing raw creds to an agent was non-negotiable for us, so it's great to hear that landed. And good to know the Zapier side was smooth
Finally a payments API that my agent can actually call without me hovering over it. Loved that the audit trail shows up instantly, makes the whole thing feel way safer than a plain key.
How does Sequence actually handle compliance when an AI agent triggers a transaction that triggers a bank's fraud detection or velocity limits on its own?
Finally a way to let my agents move money without me watching over their shoulder. Set a per-key limit in three minutes and watched Claude split a transfer across accounts exactly as I asked.
