Banking Workflows - Agent Governance SDK

This guide provides detailed patterns and best practices for implementing AI agent workflows specific to banking and financial services, with built-in compliance monitoring and risk management.

Core Banking Workflows

Customer Onboarding

Automated customer onboarding with KYC (Know Your Customer) compliance:

class CustomerOnboardingWorkflow {
  constructor(monitor) {
    this.monitor = monitor;
    this.agentId = 'onboarding-agent';
  }

  async processNewCustomer(customerData, sessionId) {
    try {

        workflowType: 'customer_onboarding',
        customerType: customerData.type,
        channel: customerData.channel
      });

      // Step 1: Identity Verification
      const identityResult = await this.verifyIdentity(customerData, sessionId);

      // Step 2: KYC Compliance Check
      const kycResult = await this.performKYCCheck(customerData, sessionId);

      // Step 3: Risk Assessment
      const riskResult = await this.assessCustomerRisk(customerData, sessionId);

      // Step 4: Account Setup
      if (identityResult.verified && kycResult.compliant && riskResult.acceptable) {
        const accountResult = await this.createCustomerAccount(customerData, sessionId);

        this.monitor.trackConversationEnd(this.agentId, sessionId, {
          duration: 300000, // 5 minutes
          messageCount: 8,
          resolutionStatus: 'resolved',
          workflowOutcome: 'account_created',
          customerRiskLevel: riskResult.level
        });

        );
      }

    } catch (error) {
      this.monitor.trackError(this.agentId, sessionId, error, {
        errorType: 'OnboardingWorkflowError',

        addressVerified: true
      },
      2500
    );

    return { verified: true, score: 95 };
  }

  async performKYCCheck(customerData, sessionId) {
    this.monitor.trackToolCall(

Transaction Processing

Real-time transaction processing with fraud detection:

class TransactionProcessingWorkflow {
  constructor(monitor) {
    this.monitor = monitor;
    this.agentId = 'transaction-processor';
  }

  async processTransaction(transaction, sessionId) {

      const validationResult = await this.validateTransaction(transaction, sessionId);

      if (!validationResult.valid) {
        return await this.rejectTransaction(transaction, sessionId, validationResult.reason);

      const fraudResult = await this.detectFraud(transaction, sessionId);

      if (fraudResult.flagged) {

      // Step 4: Execute Transaction
      const executionResult = await this.executeTransaction(transaction, sessionId);

      // Step 5: Post-transaction Processing
      await this.postTransactionProcessing(transaction, sessionId, executionResult);

      this.monitor.trackConversationEnd(this.agentId, sessionId, {

  }

    // Amount-based risk
    if (transaction.amount > 5000) score += 25;

Workflow Orchestration

Managing complex multi-step workflows:

class WorkflowOrchestrator {
  constructor(monitor) {
    this.monitor = monitor;
    this.workflows = new Map();
    this.agentId = 'workflow-orchestrator';
  }

  async executeWorkflow(workflowType, data, sessionId) {
    const workflow = this.getWorkflow(workflowType);

    this.monitor.trackConversationStart(this.agentId, sessionId, data.customerId, {
      workflowType: workflowType,
      orchestrated: true,
      estimatedDuration: workflow.estimatedDuration
    });

    try {
      const result = await workflow.execute(data, sessionId);

      this.monitor.trackConversationEnd(this.agentId, sessionId, {
        duration: result.actualDuration,
        resolutionStatus: result.success ? 'resolved' : 'failed',
        workflowType: workflowType,
        stepsCompleted: result.stepsCompleted
      });

      return result;

    } catch (error) {
      this.monitor.trackError(this.agentId, sessionId, error, {
        errorType: 'WorkflowOrchestrationError',
        workflowType: workflowType,
        stage: 'execution'
      });
      throw error;
    }
  }

  registerWorkflow(workflowType, workflow) {
    this.workflows.set(workflowType, workflow);
  }

  getWorkflow(workflowType) {
    const workflow = this.workflows.get(workflowType);
    if (!workflow) {
      throw new Error(`Unknown workflow type: ${workflowType}`);
    }
    return workflow;
  }
}

// Example usage
async function setupBankingWorkflows() {
  const monitor = new AgentMonitor({
    apiKey: process.env.AGENT_GOVERNANCE_API_KEY,
    organizationId: process.env.AGENT_GOVERNANCE_ORG_ID,
    enableComplianceChecks: true
  });

  const orchestrator = new WorkflowOrchestrator(monitor);

  // Register workflows
  orchestrator.registerWorkflow('customer_onboarding', new CustomerOnboardingWorkflow(monitor));
  orchestrator.registerWorkflow('transaction_processing', new TransactionProcessingWorkflow(monitor));
  orchestrator.registerWorkflow('credit_application', new CreditApplicationWorkflow(monitor));
  orchestrator.registerWorkflow('account_management', new AccountManagementWorkflow(monitor));

  return { orchestrator, monitor };

Best Practices for Banking Workflows

Security and Authentication

Always verify customer identity before accessing account information
Use multi-factor authentication for high-risk operations
Log all access attempts and authentication events
Implement session timeouts and re-authentication for sensitive operations

Compliance Monitoring

Track all decision factors for lending and credit decisions
Monitor for fair lending compliance in real-time
Generate audit trails for all customer interactions
Implement automated BSA/AML suspicious activity detection

Error Handling and Recovery

Implement graceful degradation for system failures
Provide clear error messages without exposing sensitive information
Log all errors with sufficient context for debugging
Have fallback procedures for critical banking operations

Performance and Scalability

Use asynchronous processing for non-critical operations
Implement caching for frequently accessed data
Monitor response times and set appropriate SLAs
Scale workflows based on transaction volume

Regulatory Considerations

Banking workflows must comply with numerous regulations including:

Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA): Proper use of credit information
Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA): Non-discriminatory lending practices
Bank Secrecy Act (BSA): Anti-money laundering compliance
Regulation E: Electronic fund transfer protections
Regulation Z: Truth in lending disclosures

Always consult with legal and compliance teams when implementing banking AI workflows.
