In the second quarter of 2026, banks made 92 recorded moves on AI agents across 59 banks, led by Amex with six and NatWest and Lloyds with four each. In production, Morgan Stanley's FIXR agents cut reconciliation from up to six hours per book to two or three, reported June 30; Huntington had 50 agents in production and 60-plus in development on April 24; and Citi unveiled Citi Sky with Google Cloud and DeepMind on April 22. Lloyds unveiled its Envoy agent platform on May 1 and NatWest reported four agents live in commercial onboarding the same day.

In agentic commerce, Amex launched its ACE developer kit and Agent Purchase Protection on April 14; Santander's Getnet accepted the first AI-agent payment in Mexico and Latin America on June 9; ING ran a live end-to-end agentic payment pilot with Mastercard on June 2; and Citi added Mastercard Agent Pay to a card portfolio serving more than 70 million customers on June 1. Morgan Stanley said on June 3 it will open its stock-plan platforms to clients' own agents via MCP.

HSBC agreed a partnership with Google Cloud and DeepMind on June 17 for more than 200 new AI use cases over two years, and MUFG agreed a Google alliance covering agentic payments on May 7. UBS on June 12 called a KPMG claim about its AI agents 'factually incorrect'.
