AI in Financial Services
Our research finds that 75% of financial services companies are achieving or exceeding their expected value with generative AI initiatives. What’s more, firms that embrace AI stand to reduce their customer service cost base by 20% to 30% and increase revenue by about 5%. Banks, insurers, fintechs, and wealth management firms are using AI to:
• Enhance employee productivity with AI assistants handling basic tasks
• Automate higher-value routine workflows such as customer correspondence
• Improve customer experience for B2C (e.g., banking chatbots) and B2B (e.g., account support for merchants using payments systems)
• Facilitate risk management activities (e.g., Know Your Customer)
Real Outcomes
We helped NatWest transform customer engagement with AI-enabled processes that reduced the bank’s idea-to-value timeline from more than 60 days to just one day.
How We Help
We’ll help you use AI to streamline key activities and meet customers’ growing need for a personalized touch and rapid response and resolution times. To achieve this, we’ll guide you to the right organizational choices across program sponsorship, governance, staffing, and funding, so you can move quickly to realizing value.
