BancFirst Corporation vs peers
AI and technology compared

Last updated Oct 19, 2026 · 9 peers · 99 sources cited

How does BancFirst Corporation compare with its peers on AI and technology?

On this site's AI disclosure index BancFirst scores 11.3 (#101 of 120 US banks), seventh in a ten-bank group of Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas banks led by Texas Capital (49.1), BOK Financial (41.8), Prosperity (40) and Arvest (37.2). The gap is one of disclosure, not necessarily of capability. BancFirst's 2025 10-K, filed February 26, 2026, says its use of AI 'is not material to us at this time' but is expected to grow, and the bank names no AI platform, vendor, budget or AI executive; the one deployment on record comes from Cisco Webex, which lists BancFirst as a Webex AI Agent customer. Its in-state rival BOK Financial names a chief data and analytics officer who owns 'enterprise data and AI strategy' (March 2026), and First United, the Durant bank, lists a Director of AI Program Strategy and Execution in its 2025 impact report. In Texas, Texas Capital reported in April 2026 that about 80% of employees had used its in-house Ranger AI platform in four weeks. BancFirst's case rests elsewhere: it is Oklahoma's third-largest bank by deposits, with 7.36% of state deposits across 113 offices at June 30, 2025, more offices than any other bank in the state, and its 10-K describes a decentralized 'super community bank' model in which local presidents make underwriting and pricing decisions. Data processing expense was $11.8 million in 2025, against $198.5 million of data processing and communications expense at BOK Financial.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Where does BancFirst lead its peers on AI?

01

Oklahoma's widest branch network, the delivery channel it competes on

BancFirst ran 113 offices in Oklahoma at June 30, 2025, against 79 for Arvest, 50 for MidFirst, 43 for BOK Financial and 34 for First United (FDIC Summary of Deposits). Its 10-K says local presidents in each market make underwriting, funding, customer-service and pricing decisions, a model built on branches and people rather than on disclosed AI.[6][1]

02

A named AI vendor deployment, where Simmons, Home BancShares and First Financial have none

Cisco Webex names BancFirst as a customer of Webex AI Agent, its contact-center AI agent (October 2025). Simmons, Home BancShares and First Financial Bankshares have disclosed no AI programme, vendor or leader in their 2025 and 2026 releases and calls; First Financial's only AI text is one 10-K risk-factor sentence repeated for three years.[2][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]

03

AI expertise on a board committee, which Simmons' proxy does not show

BancFirst's 2026 proxy (April 3, 2026) puts director Robin Roberson, president and co-founder of Agentech AI and an AI and digital strategy consultant, on the quarterly Information Security Committee with CEO David Harlow and the chief risk and operations officers. Simmons' 2026 proxy statement contains no mention of AI at all.[15][16]

Where does BancFirst trail its peers on AI?

01

No named AI or data leader, while BOK Financial, First United and Texas Capital name theirs

BancFirst has named no chief AI, data or digital officer; its 10-K places cybersecurity under an unnamed Chief Information Officer reporting to the Chief Operating Officer. BOK Financial's Shanthi Pudota owns enterprise data and AI strategy, First United lists Jay Liles as Director of AI Program Strategy and Execution, and Texas Capital appointed Mo Jamous as chief digital and information officer on July 13, 2026.[1][3][4][17]

02

No internal AI platform or usage figure, unlike Texas Capital

BancFirst discloses no employee AI tool or adoption number. Texas Capital told analysts on April 23, 2026 that about 80% of employees had used its in-house Ranger platform in the prior four weeks and that 64 employees had built 280 agents; BancFirst's earnings releases for the first two quarters of 2026 contain no AI text at all.[5][18][19]

03

No disclosed core or cloud modernization, while Arvest and Prosperity have one on the record

BancFirst has described no core, cloud or data-platform programme. Arvest reported 40% of targeted applications moved to Google Cloud by April 2025, with completion slated for 2027, and Prosperity converted to a real-time core on February 17, 2026. BancFirst's visible technology work is acquisition conversion: its first-quarter 2026 expense included American Bank of Oklahoma conversion costs.[20][21][22][18]

04

The thinnest independent coverage in the group but one

BancFirst scores 3 on independent sources, ninth of ten, against 9 for BOK Financial and 8 for Hilltop; its AI record is its own filings plus one vendor post. BOK Financial's record includes American Banker and CIO Dive coverage of its data chief and a Vanilla case study of AI trust-document review that saves about four hours per review.[3][23][24]

Where does BancFirst rank against its peers on AI disclosure?

Scores from the US AI disclosure index of 120 banks (0–100; 45% of the weight on independent coverage). The index measures what each bank has put on the public record and what outside outlets have reported about its AI, not capability or spending; every count is of entries on that bank's profile, each of which cites its sources.

How does BancFirst's technology record compare with the other large banks in Oklahoma?

The banks with the most Oklahoma deposits at June 30, 2025 (FDIC Summary of Deposits, this site's sum of branch data), and what each has put on the record about AI and technology. MidFirst Bank, second by Oklahoma deposits, has no profile on this site. A blank means nothing is disclosed, not that nothing exists.

How does BancFirst's technology platform work compare with peers that have disclosed theirs?

The latest platform move each bank has disclosed. For BancFirst, Prosperity and Home BancShares the visible work in 2026 is converting acquired banks.

Which banks are BancFirst's peers, and why these?

BancFirst Corporation is compared here with BOK Financial Corporation, First United Bank & Trust (Spend Life Wisely Company), Arvest Bank, Prosperity Bancshares, First Financial Bankshares, Hilltop Holdings, Texas Capital Bancshares, Home BancShares (Centennial Bank) and Simmons First National Corporation: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). BancFirst Corporation is classed as a regional or retail-commercial bank in the Southwest.

The computed group mixed in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Colorado banks of similar size; this group holds the banks BancFirst meets in Oklahoma by FDIC deposit share (BOK Financial, First United, Arvest, Prosperity, Simmons) and the Texas and Arkansas commercial banks of comparable scale around its Dallas-Fort Worth subsidiaries Pegasus Bank and Worthington Bank.

Does BancFirst use AI?

Only lightly, on the record. Its 2025 10-K says the use of AI 'is not material to us at this time' and that it expects AI use and its effect on the business to grow. Cisco Webex names BancFirst as a Webex AI Agent customer. BancFirst itself has named no AI platform, vendor, use case or budget, and its 2026 quarterly earnings releases contain no AI text.[1][2][18][19]

Is BancFirst better than BOK Financial at AI?

The record cannot settle capability, but BOK Financial has put more on it: 41.8 on this site's disclosure index against BancFirst's 11.3. BOK names a chief data and analytics officer for data and AI strategy, describes a per-initiative AI governance review in its 10-K, and is the subject of a vendor case study on AI trust-document review. BancFirst names no AI leader and calls its AI use not yet material.[3][7][24][1]

How does BancFirst compare with Arvest on technology?

Arvest, which had 79 Oklahoma offices at June 30, 2025, has a public modernization programme: a Google Cloud partnership from July 2022, a Thought Machine core for its first product in October 2022, and 40% of targeted applications in the cloud by April 2025. BancFirst, with 113 Oklahoma offices, has not described its core, cloud or data platform.[6][37][36][20][1]

Does BancFirst have an AI virtual assistant like Bank of America's Erica?

Not one it has disclosed. BancFirst's online and mobile banking offers balances, transfers, bill pay, mobile check deposit, text and email alerts and a Money Management budgeting tool, and its Send Money feature runs person-to-person payments through Pay It Now. Bank of America says Erica has helped more than 24.6 million clients, and Wells Fargo's Fargo passed 1 billion interactions in March 2026.[75][76][97][98]

How does BancFirst's technology spending compare with its peers'?

BancFirst reports no technology budget; its 10-K shows data processing services expense of $11.8 million in 2025, up from $10.8 million in 2024 and $8.4 million in 2023. BOK Financial reported $198.5 million of data processing and communications expense in 2025, and Prosperity's CEO put its technology spend at $75 million to $90 million a year on the April 2026 call.[1][7][94]

Who leads AI at BancFirst compared with its peers?

BancFirst names no AI leader. Its 10-K has the Chief Information Officer, who leads cybersecurity, reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, and the 2026 proxy names Scott Copeland as COO. Peers name owners: BOK Financial's chief data and analytics officer Shanthi Pudota, First United's Director of AI Program Strategy Jay Liles, and Texas Capital's chief digital and information officer Mo Jamous.[1][15][3][4][17]

How does BancFirst compare with Texas Capital?

They meet in Dallas-Fort Worth, where BancFirst's Pegasus Bank held $1.27 billion of deposits in three offices at June 30, 2025 against Texas Capital's $13.12 billion in five. On AI, Texas Capital scores 49.1 on this site's index, the highest in the group, with an in-house Ranger platform and 280 employee-built agents; BancFirst scores 11.3 and discloses no internal AI tool.[99][5][1]
