SAFR Framework (July 2026)
Published Safeguards for Agentic Finance at Runtime (SAFR) v1.0 — industry-developed runtime governance for financial AI agents under buildfin-ai initiative.
Four Pillars
- Policy-bound execution
- Real-time validation before action
- Auditability (tamper-evident governance log)
- Interoperability across institutions
SAFR is reference approach, not binding regulation. Institutions remain responsible for supervisory alignment.
Pilot Domains
- Agent-assisted payments and treasury
- Wealth management compliance review
- Client engagement drafting
