\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tArtificial Intelligence is easily applicable in anything that has a standardized system and less or no discrepancy or deviation. First, as an organized industry, banking runs on a set of regulatory guidelines and deals with numbers, it was only about time that it would board the AI bus. Secondly, there is this deviation angle. As we fully realize the fact that anything handled by a human is prone to deviation or personal discretion; so to be vigilant, all inputs are to be taken with a generous pinch of salt. In other words, everything must undergo a reviewing pair of eyes. How about implementing a system that can auto-understand and auto-function and auto-verify without or with minimal human intervention (barring some very delicate cases)?\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChatbots<\/strong>\u00a0are text-based messaging systems that enable B2C interactions. Bots being agile, customizable, easily programmable, all-time available, and yet more economical than fully loaded banking apps, are winning the confidence with quite a pace. Well-executed and duly-monitored robots are assigned repetitive, basic, and time-consuming tasks. They are then gauged on their effectiveness and efficiency against their human predecessors who now will have a good time building and maintaining client relationship and solving more complex issues.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

  • Last year Swedbank launched both on its website and mobile app Nuance\u2019s NINA that could help quickly answer customer queries using intuitive analysis.<\/li>\n \t
  • Bank of America uses a digital assistant called ERICA. It provides its users with financial propositions based on their transaction patterns through predictive analytics and cognitive messaging. From checking balances to making payments to saving money to lowering debt \u2014 she is all set to answer and advise.<\/li>\n \t
  • Yes bank on the other hand came up with YES Pay Bot that allows financial transactions over a friendly chat with the customer along with answering queries and requests. It also has YES mPower bot taking care of loan products.<\/li>\n \t
  • JPMorgan Chase has come up with COIN, Contract Intelligence, which would analyze legal documents and extract important data points and clauses. This would reduce the work of 360,000 hours to seconds.<\/li>\n \t
  • Wells Fargo piloted AI-driven chatbot through Facebook Messenger platform and allowed users to provide their account information and reset their passwords.<\/li>\n \t
  • Citi bank has invested into Feedzai, a global data science enterprise, which works in real time to spot and destroy possibilities of fraud both in online and branch banking.<\/li>\n \t
  • State Bank of India extended a digital platform called SBI inTouch that uses AI such as IBM Watson.<\/li>\n \t
