Panasonic Connect Group (Group CEO: Ken Sain) announced that Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (President and Group CEO: Junichi Hanzawa) and MUFG Trust and Banking Corporation (President: Hiroshi Kubota, hereinafter referred to as MUFG Trust Bank) have joined the "AI Agent x Financial Transactions Subcommittee" (hereinafter referred to as the Subcommittee), which was jointly established within the DID/VC Co-creation Consortium (Decentralized Identifier / Verifiable Credential Co-creation Consortium (*1)) hosted by MUFG Trust Bank.

The Subcommittee will examine issues related to ensuring the reliability, safety, and transparency of transactions, as well as practical, legal, and governance challenges, with a view to an era where AI agents (*2) autonomously execute financial product transactions on behalf of financial institution customers (hereinafter referred to as users).

In particular, it will focus on the appropriate delegation of authority from users to AI agents, and will organize discussion points regarding the definition and proof of the scope of delegation, and the verifiability of transaction execution results.

Furthermore, as a supporting mechanism, it will confirm the potential utilization and implementation requirements of Verifiable Credentials (VCs), including consistency with relevant laws and regulations.

*1 The "DID/VC Co-creation Consortium" was established in October 2023 with the aim of co-creating businesses using Decentralized Identifiers (DID) and Verifiable Credentials (VC). It has 53 member companies (as of the end of June 2026).
