Last updated: Oct 19, 2026

*Part of the [CIBC Bank USA AI strategy profile](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/banks/cibc-us). Peer group: BMO (U.S.), Northern Trust, Wintrust Financial Corporation, Old National Bancorp, City National Bank (RBC), Western Alliance Bancorporation, Associated Banc-Corp, Texas Capital Bancshares.*

## How does CIBC Bank USA compare with its peers on AI and technology?

On this site's AI disclosure index CIBC Bank USA scores 77 (#25 of 120 US banks), third in a nine-bank group of Chicago and commercial-banking peers behind BMO US (85.8) and Northern Trust (79.7), and ahead of Western Alliance (71.8), Old National (66), City National (65) and Wintrust (38.1). Most of its record is the Canadian parent's. CIBC built its own enterprise AI platform, CAI, which reached more than 50,000 employees with about 20,000 daily users by July 2026 at about $3 per user a month, and the group counted 3 million hours saved by AI in fiscal 2026 to May. It describes 17 AI use cases, the most in the group, and 14 in production, second to Western Alliance's 16. What is US-specific is thinner but growing: in October 2026 American Banker named Brittany Scott CIO of U.S. Technology, Data and AI at CIBC Bank USA, running $250 million of US technology spending and 500 people, and the 2025 annual report lists a new wires platform, CRM tools and enhanced AML capabilities for the US bank. Where it trails is its closest Chicago rival. BMO, which holds 17.72% of Chicago-area deposits against CIBC's 7.46% (June 2025), reports more than 96% employee AI adoption, a Lumi assistant indexing 8,000+ policies and an Aura program to cut commercial underwriting time by about 50% by 2028; Northern Trust reports 150+ AI use cases in production. CIBC's customer AI, a Voice Assistant that has handled 16 million+ calls, serves Canadian clients, with no US equivalent disclosed.

## Where does CIBC lead its peers on AI?

- **The widest described use-case list in the group.** CIBC Bank USA's profile describes 17 AI use cases, first in its nine-bank group (median 15), and 14 in production, second only to Western Alliance (16): from CAI and the Agents Marketplace to DocuMind, which processes 63,000 lending documents a month and saves about 16,000 hours a quarter (July 2026). ([CNW via FT Markets](https://markets.ft.com/data/announce/detail?dockey=600-202607280853CANADANWCANADAPR_C7795-1), [CIBC via CNW (Yahoo Finance)](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/cibc-launches-ai-powered-platform-100000321.html), [CIBC](https://www.cibc.com/content/dam/cibc-public-assets/about-cibc/investor-relations/pdfs/quarterly-results/2026/q326strategyinvestorpresentation-en.pdf))
- **A home-built platform at a fraction of licence cost.** CIBC's CAI costs the group about $3 per user a month against about $40 for fixed-licence assistants, the Financial Post reported in July 2026, and reached 50,000+ employees. Associated, which also builds in-house, put one internal build at $45,000 against an $800,000 purchase option (September 2026).

- **Hours saved at a scale few peers count.** CIBC counted 1.2 million hours saved by AI tools in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and 3 million by May 2026 (group). Western Alliance put its figure at 150,000+ employee hours (May 2026), and Northern Trust put 2025 productivity savings above 4% of its expense base.

- **A named US technology, data and AI chief.** Brittany Scott, CIO of U.S. Technology, Data and AI at CIBC Bank USA, manages $250 million of US technology spending and 500 people (October 2026). City National's AI record runs through its parent RBC's Borealis unit, and Wintrust names no AI platform.

## Where does CIBC trail its peers on AI?

- **Behind BMO, its larger Canadian-owned rival in Chicago.** BMO US scores 85.8 against CIBC's 77 and reports more than 96% employee AI adoption (April 2026), 18,000+ commercial leads from its Next Best Offer engine in 12 months and an Aura goal of 50% faster underwriting by 2028. It holds 17.72% of Chicago-area deposits through 184 offices; CIBC holds 7.46% through 19. ([BMO](https://newsroom.bmo.com/2026-04-24-BMO-Launches-Return-on-Intelligence-Podcast-AI,-Quantum,-and-the-New-Rules-of-Decision-Making), [BMO AI Hub](https://ai.bmo.com/our-stories/next-best-offer-turning-data-into-timely-client-conversations), [BMO AI Hub](https://ai.bmo.com/our-stories/aura-helping-power-bmos-goal-of-50-faster-underwriting-by-2028), [FDIC BankFind Suite](https://banks.data.fdic.gov/bankfind-suite/SOD/marketShare?displayResults=&instType=&institutionType=banks&institutionTypeTimeSeries=&lastYear=2025&locations=msa&msa=Chicago-Naperville-Elgin,%20IL-IN&pageNumber=1&reportType=depositMarketShare&resultLimit=25&searchPush=true&sortField=STNAME&sortOrder=ASC&totalsType=))
- **Most of its numbers are group numbers.** CAI usage, hours saved and the CAI 2.0 pilot of about 250 testers are reported for CIBC as a whole; the US share is not broken out. CIBC Bank USA scores 14 on disclosed numbers, sixth of nine (median 15), behind BMO (18).

- **No US customer assistant on the record.** CIBC's Voice Assistant has handled 16 million+ calls since 2025 and AdvisorAssist cuts adviser admin by up to 50%, but both are described for Canadian clients, with no US rollout stated. BMO US runs Lumi, a policy assistant indexing 8,000+ policies, for its staff.

- **Fewer production use cases in wealth than Northern Trust.** Northern Trust reports 150+ AI use cases in production (October 2025) and $2.0 trillion of assets under management (June 2026). CIBC's 2025 annual report describes an enhanced Private Wealth investment platform in the US but no AI use specific to it.

## Where does CIBC 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.

## Which banks are CIBC's peers, and why these?

CIBC Bank USA is compared here with BMO (U.S.), Northern Trust, Wintrust Financial Corporation, Old National Bancorp, City National Bank (RBC), Western Alliance Bancorporation, Associated Banc-Corp and Texas Capital Bancshares: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). CIBC Bank USA is classed as a commercial and business bank in the Midwest.

The computed group mixed in Bank OZK, Banc of California and UMB; this group holds the Chicago banks CIBC Bank USA meets at home (BMO US, Northern Trust, Wintrust, Old National), the other US commercial and private-wealth arm of a Canadian group (City National, owned by RBC) and the commercial-focused regionals it meets for middle-market clients (Western Alliance, Associated, Texas Capital).

## Common questions

### Is CIBC Bank USA better than BMO at AI?

The record cannot settle capability, but BMO US has put more on it: 85.8 on this site's disclosure index against CIBC Bank USA's 77. BMO reports more than 96% employee AI adoption and US-specific results such as 18,000+ commercial leads from its Next Best Offer engine; most of CIBC's AI figures, such as 3 million hours saved, are group-wide. ([BMO](https://newsroom.bmo.com/2026-04-24-BMO-Launches-Return-on-Intelligence-Podcast-AI,-Quantum,-and-the-New-Rules-of-Decision-Making), [BMO AI Hub](https://ai.bmo.com/our-stories/next-best-offer-turning-data-into-timely-client-conversations), [Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/cibc-cm-q2-2026-earnings-184517426.html))

### Does CIBC Bank USA use AI?

Yes, mostly through the group's platforms: CAI, an internally built enterprise AI tool used by more than 50,000 CIBC employees, Smart Library, the Agents Marketplace and DocuMind document processing. US-specific work includes a new wires platform, CRM tools and enhanced AML capabilities, and a US CIO for technology, data and AI. ([CIBC via CNW (Yahoo Finance)](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cibc-introduces-first-enterprise-wide-143900920.html), [CNW via FT Markets](https://markets.ft.com/data/announce/detail?dockey=600-202607280853CANADANWCANADAPR_C7795-1), [CIBC via CNW (Yahoo Finance)](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/cibc-launches-ai-powered-platform-100000321.html), [CIBC](https://www.cibc.com/content/dam/cibc-public-assets/about-cibc/investor-relations/pdfs/quarterly-results/2025/ar-25-en.pdf), [American Banker](https://americanbanker.com/news/2026-the-most-powerful-women-in-banking-women-to-watch-25-brittany-scott-cibc-u-s))

### How does CIBC Bank USA compare with City National on AI?

Both are US commercial and private-wealth banks owned by Canadian groups. CIBC Bank USA scores 77 and City National 65 on this site's disclosure index. RBC targets $700 million to $1 billion of enterprise value from AI by 2027 without a City National breakout; CIBC reports group hours saved and a named US technology, data and AI chief. ([RBC](https://www.rbc.com/investor-relations/_assets-custom/pdf/ar_2025_e.pdf), [Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/cibc-cm-q2-2026-earnings-184517426.html), [American Banker](https://americanbanker.com/news/2026-the-most-powerful-women-in-banking-women-to-watch-25-brittany-scott-cibc-u-s))

### How does CIBC Bank USA compare with Northern Trust?

Northern Trust scores 79.7 and CIBC Bank USA 77. Northern Trust reports 150+ AI use cases in production and $2.0 trillion of assets under management; CIBC's US wealth business ranked #6 in Barron's Top 100 RIA Firms in 2025. In Chicago deposits the two are close: 6.13% for Northern Trust and 7.46% for CIBC (June 2025).

### Who leads AI at CIBC Bank USA?

At group level, Jaime Tatis is chief data and AI officer and Richard Jardim runs Global Technology, Data and AI. In the US, Brittany Scott is CIO of U.S. Technology, Data and AI at CIBC Bank USA, and Kevin Li is the US region head. BMO, by comparison, names a Chief AI & Quantum Officer, Kristin Milchanowski. ([CIBC](https://cibc.com/en/about-cibc/future-banking/innovation/leadership/leading-next-chapter-data-and-ai.html), [CIBC via PR Newswire](https://prnewswire.com/news-releases/cibc-announces-senior-executive-leadership-changes-302784320.html), [American Banker](https://americanbanker.com/news/2026-the-most-powerful-women-in-banking-women-to-watch-25-brittany-scott-cibc-u-s), [American Banker](https://www.americanbanker.com/news/canadian-bank-cibc-promotes-kevin-li-to-lead-u-s-unit), [BMO](https://newsroom.bmo.com/2026-04-09-BMO-Establishes-Institute-for-Applied-Artificial-Intelligence-Quantum))

### How much does CIBC Bank USA spend on technology compared with peers?

American Banker reports that CIBC's US CIO manages $250 million of US technology spending and 500 people (October 2026). Wintrust's software and equipment expense was $142.4 million in 2025, and Old National's technology expense was $58.7 million in the first half of 2026. ([American Banker](https://americanbanker.com/news/2026-the-most-powerful-women-in-banking-women-to-watch-25-brittany-scott-cibc-u-s), [Wintrust Financial Corporation (SEC filings)](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1015328/000101532826000007/wtfc-20251231.htm), [Old National Bancorp](https://ir.oldnational.com/news/press-releases/press-release-details/2026/Old-National-Bancorp-Reports-Record-Second-Quarter-2026-Results-Announces-Enhanced-Executive-Leadership-Structure))

### Does CIBC Bank USA have an AI chatbot for customers?

None is disclosed for US clients. CIBC's Voice Assistant, which has handled 16 million+ calls, serves Canadian retail clients, and its CIBC Agility digital banking platform gathers US deposits online without a disclosed AI assistant. Bank of America's Erica helps more than 24.6 million clients.
