Scotiabank<\/a> has launched a unified enterprise approach designed to equip the bank\u2019s employees with data and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities.<\/p>\n

The new Scotia Intelligence brings together the capabilities, platforms and governance needed to deliver AI securely and at scale, Scotiabank said on a Monday (April 13) press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cCombined with our existing technology infrastructure, these AI capabilities unite the strength of our data and cloud environments while embedding governance and security so teams can use AI confidently and responsibly,\u201d Tim Clark<\/a>, group head and chief information officer at Scotiabank, said in the release.<\/p>\n

Scotiabank has already used Scotia Intelligence to embed AI in its operations, according to the release.<\/p>\n

For example, in the bank\u2019s contact centers, AI handles over 40% of client inquiries. In its commercial banking business, AI solutions process about 90% of commercial emails by routing them to the appropriate teams. In digital banking, Scotiabank\u2019s patented mobile banking feature provides clients with timely prompts that help them stay on top of routine banking tasks, the release said.<\/p>\n

When announcing this AI-powered mobile banking feature and other enhancements in a Wednesday (April 8) press release<\/a>, Scotiabank said that with the patented feature, \u201cclients can stay on top of routine banking tasks through timely and intuitive prompts that enable clients to proactively manage upcoming bill payments, routine email money transfers and account-to-account transactions.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Monday press release, Phil Thomas<\/a>, group head and chief strategy and operating officer at Scotiabank, said: \u201cBy putting AI-enabled tools into the hands of our global team, we\u2019re enabling greater focus on higher-value work resulting in better decisions, faster execution and meaningful outcomes for our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PYMNTS Intelligence report \u201cIs AI the Master Key to Banking\u2019s Next Era?<\/a>\u201d found that financial institutions are targeting customer service as a key area for AI usage because retail banking customers express a preference for AI-driven superpowered chatbots over traditional chatbots.<\/p>\n

Other common applications of AI within the financial industry include fraud detection, risk management, investment management and automation, according to the report.<\/p>\n

PYMNTS reported in February that financial institutions have deployed AI agents<\/a> in compliance queues, cash management dashboards and payment routing engines, where these tools are now initiating tasks and moving money based on live signals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scotiabank has launched a unified enterprise approach designed to equip the bank\u2019s employees with data and artificial intelligence…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4407,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[24,25,2226,66,310,4134,311],"class_list":["post-4406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ai","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-banking","tag-news","tag-pymnts-news","tag-scotiabank","tag-whats-hot"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4406\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
