Last updated: Sep 24, 2026

## What should a bank look for in AI enterprise ai assistants software?

Enterprise AI assistants are the general-purpose large-language-model products banks license for their staff and developers: chat assistants in the office suite, coding assistants, and cloud platforms that give access to several models through an API. They are the one category where list prices are usually published, per user per month or per token. The questions that separate them are data-use terms, where data is processed and stored, admin and audit controls, integration with the bank's identity and document systems, and the total cost at scale.

## Buyer criteria

Observations, not advice.

### Data-use and retention terms

Check that the enterprise terms exclude your prompts and files from model training, how long they are retained, and where they are processed.

### Identity, permissions and audit

An assistant that searches internal documents must respect existing permissions. Check single sign-on, role controls and exportable audit logs.

### Seat price versus usage price

Per-seat assistants have predictable bills; per-token platforms scale with use. Published list prices are a ceiling for large banks, which negotiate.

### Coding assistants and secure development

Code-generation tools raise secure-development and licence questions; NIST's SSDF profile for generative AI and NY DFS's 2026 letter address them.

## Which rules apply to a bank using AI enterprise ai assistants software?

| Rule | Why it applies | Documents |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Third-party and concentration risk | Licensing a frontier model or cloud AI platform is a third-party relationship; supervisors have flagged concentration in a few providers. | [OCC Bulletin 2023-17](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/occ-bulletin-2023-17), [SR 23-4](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/fed-sr-23-4) |

| AI-generated code | NY DFS's May 2026 letter and NIST SP 800-218A address controls over code written with AI assistants. | [DFS Frontier AI Models Industry Letter (May 2026)](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/ny-dfs-industry-letter-2026-05-21-frontier-ai-models), [NIST SP 800-218A (SSDF profile for generative AI)](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/nist-sp-800-218a) |

## FAQ

### How much does Microsoft 365 Copilot or ChatGPT Enterprise cost a bank?

List prices for enterprise assistants are published per user per month on the vendors' own pricing pages, and cloud model platforms publish per-token prices; each vendor page here quotes the list price with the date it was checked. Large banks negotiate enterprise agreements below list.

### Do banks let employees use ChatGPT?

Many large banks license enterprise versions of these assistants under contract terms that exclude bank data from model training, and several have built internal assistants on top of the same models. The bank pages on this site record which banks have said so.
