How does Columbia Banking System compare with its peers on AI and technology?
On this site's AI disclosure index Columbia Banking System scores 63.3 (#45 of 120 US banks), second in a nine-bank group of Western regionals behind Western Alliance (71.8) and ahead of Zions (59.6), WaFd (52.3), First Interstate (51.3) and East West (49.2). What sets it apart is customer-service AI it has counted. On April 23, 2026 the CEO said its support assistant had moved the mix from two human calls per AI chat to three AI chats per human call, and on September 15, 2026 its chief administrative officer said client messages get seven AI-agent replies for every human one while call-center staff stayed flat through a 30% rise in customers. No Western peer has put a comparable usage figure on the record: WaFd promised an AI call-center agent for the quarter to June 2026 and did not mention it on its next call, and Banner describes a 24/7 virtual assistant without usage data. Where Columbia trails is measured productivity and agentic pilots. Western Alliance put 150,000+ employee hours saved by AI on the record in May 2026, Zions said 56% of its workforce used generative AI in September 2025, and First Interstate runs a Fiserv agentOS commercial loan onboarding pilot; Columbia says AI in commercial lending comes 'over the next couple of quarters'. Against the national banks that its 10-K says hold top market share in its states the gap is scale: Bank of America's Erica helps more than 24.6 million clients and U.S. Bank's Smart Assistant is used 2.5 million times a month. Columbia's CEO frames the goal plainly: its platforms will be contemporary, not cutting edge.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

Where does Columbia lead its peers on AI?
01
The only usage ratio for a customer AI assistant in the group
Columbia's support assistant moved the mix from two human calls per AI chat to three AI chats per human call (April 23, 2026), and client messages now draw seven AI-agent replies per human reply (September 15, 2026). WaFd's AI call-center agent, promised in April 2026 for the following quarter, went unmentioned on its July call.[1][2][3][4]
02
More named AI leaders than any Western peer
Columbia's profile names 13 people tied to its AI and technology work, from CEO Clint Stein and chief administrative officer Drew Anderson to CIO Tom Rice and the board Technology Committee chair, the most in its nine-bank group, where the median is 8.5. Western Alliance names 12 and Zions 11.[13][2][14]
03
AI used inside a merger conversion, on the record
Columbia says AI automated the review and validation of thousands of data fields in the January 2026 Pacific Premier systems conversion. Glacier completed its own Guaranty core conversion in the first quarter of 2026 and its April 2026 call contained no AI remarks; Banner plans its Pacific Financial integration for November 2026.[1][15][16][17][18]
04
A written AI governance stack, with a named control platform
Columbia's 2025 Corporate Citizenship Report describes a cross-functional Responsible AI Working Group, an internal AI Policy and the ServiceNow AI Control Tower aligned to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. Zions' 2025 10-K describes a Data and AI Governance Committee, and Banner's 2026 proxy a board-approved generative-AI policy; neither names a control platform.[19][20][21]
Where does Columbia trail its peers on AI?
01
No hours-saved or dollar figure while Western Alliance publishes both
Western Alliance's May 2026 investor day put AI at 150,000+ employee hours saved, $10 million+ of productivity value and a projected 25% cut in lending cycle time. Columbia reports ratios (three AI chats per human call) and a flat call-center headcount, but no hours, dollars or AI budget.[6][1][2]
02
No staff adoption share, unlike Zions and Banc of California
Zions said 56% of its workforce was using generative AI in September 2025, and Banc of California said more than 80% of its developers use AI in daily workflows (April 2026). Columbia says its developers test changes faster and write more secure software, but gives no adoption percentage.[7][22][1]
03
Behind First Interstate and WaFd on agentic AI in lending
First Interstate is one of two launch pilots of Fiserv's agentOS, with a commercial loan onboarding agent (May 2026), and nCino says WaFd is piloting its Analyst Digital Partner for credit risk (September 2026). Columbia's chief administrative officer said AI in commercial lending is expected over the next couple of quarters.[8][9][23][2]
04
A repeated disclosure rather than a growing one
The same four AI bullets appear in every Columbia investor deck from the third quarter of 2025 to the second quarter of 2026, and its independent-source score is 10, against Western Alliance's 13 and Zions' 11. Western Alliance added 15 AI use cases with a top five costed into 2027 plans in September 2026.[24][25][26]
Where does Columbia 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 Columbia's AI and digital banking compare with U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Chase?
Columbia's 10-K says major national banks generally hold top market share in its nine states. What each has disclosed about its customer assistant, digital reach and employee AI, with dates. A blank means nothing is disclosed, not that nothing exists.
| Bank | Customer AI assistant | Digital reach and branches | Employee AI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Columbia | Support assistant: three AI chats per human call (April 2026); seven AI-agent replies per human reply to client messages (September 2026); Glia chat and co-browse behind its Go-To digital service | Digital user count not disclosed; Oregon deposit share 16.39% (2nd) and Washington 7.79% (5th), June 30, 2025 | 83 platforms and solutions using some form of AI (July 2025); AI code generation and testing; Webex AI Assistant for about 450 contact-center agents[1][2][82][10][34][83] |

| Bank | What it has | Usage disclosed | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Columbia | Cisco Webex AI Assistant for agents (dropped-call summaries, topic analytics); an AI support assistant; about three AI applications serving agents and customers | Two human calls per AI chat became three AI chats per human call; seven AI-agent replies per human reply; 30% more customers with flat call-center staff | April 2025; April and September 2026[83][1][2] |

How does Columbia's use of AI in lending and fraud compare with its Western peers?
Disclosed credit, onboarding and fraud uses of AI, with the stage each bank reports.
| Bank | Use | Stage | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Columbia | In-house AI models layered on vendor fraud tools, catching fraud those tools missed; AI to speed commercial-lending analytics and reporting, 'not to decide the credit yes or no' | Fraud in production; lending expected over the next couple of quarters | September 2026[2] |
| Western Alliance | Triangle of Fraud Protection for class-action claims; AI-assisted lending redesign | 800 million+ fraudulent claims prevented in 2024; lending cycle time −25% (internal projection) | May 2025; May 2026[93][6] |

Which banks are Columbia's peers, and why these?
Columbia Banking System is compared here with WaFd, Inc., Banner Corporation, Zions Bancorporation, Western Alliance Bancorporation, East West Bancorp, Banc of California, First Interstate BancSystem and Glacier Bancorp: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). Columbia Banking System is classed as a regional or retail-commercial bank in the West.
The computed group mixed in banks from New Jersey, the Southeast, the Midwest and Puerto Rico; this group holds the regional banks headquartered in the West that overlap Columbia's nine-state footprint, led by the two Pacific Northwest banks it meets most often (WaFd and Banner), and three of them (Zions, Western Alliance and East West) also sit in Columbia's own 2026 proxy compensation peer group.
Is Columbia Bank better than Western Alliance at AI?
The record cannot settle capability, but Western Alliance has put more on it: 71.8 on this site's disclosure index against Columbia's 63.3. Western Alliance publishes productivity numbers (150,000+ hours saved, $10 million+ of value, May 2026); Columbia publishes customer-service ratios, such as three AI chats per human call and seven AI-agent replies per human reply.[6][1][2]
Does Columbia Bank have an AI assistant like Erica?
It runs an AI support assistant that by April 2026 handled three chats for every human call, and AI agents that by September 2026 sent seven replies to client messages for each human reply. It has not named or sized it like Bank of America's Erica, which helps more than 24.6 million clients, or U.S. Bank's Smart Assistant, used 2.5 million times a month.[1][2][11][12]
How does Columbia compare with WaFd and Banner on AI?
Columbia scores 63.3 on this site's disclosure index, WaFd 52.3 and Banner 36.7. WaFd says AI more than doubled its software development pace and is piloting nCino's credit agent; Banner describes a 24/7 virtual assistant and a board-approved generative-AI policy. Columbia is the only one of the three to report usage ratios for a customer AI assistant.[3][23][5][21][1]
How does Columbia's AI compare with Zions?
Columbia scores 63.3 and Zions 59.6. Zions reported 56% of its workforce using generative AI in September 2025 and built a Gemini-based enterprise AI platform; its 10-K says no AI acts autonomously in critical decisions or client-facing activities. Columbia reports more customer-facing AI use, including AI agents answering most client messages (September 2026).[7][35][20][2]
Who leads AI at Columbia Banking System compared with its peers?
Columbia names no chief AI officer; chief administrative officer Drew Anderson, a former chief data officer, presented its AI work in September 2026, and Tom Rice is CIO. Western Alliance's CIO Sonny Sonnenstein presented its AI numbers at the May 2026 investor day; U.S. Bancorp has a chief AI officer.[13][2][14][6][85]
How does Columbia's technology spending compare with its peers?
Columbia discloses no technology or AI budget, and its 10-K says many competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technology. Western Alliance put its 2024 to 2026 technology investment at about $250 million, or 10% of revenue. Banner's information and data services expense rose 26% year on year in the second quarter of 2026.[10][6][78]
What does Columbia lead on if not AI disclosure scale?
Scale in its home markets and integration discipline. Its 10-K ranks it 2nd in Oregon with a 16.39% deposit share and 5th in Washington with 7.79% (June 30, 2025). Its Pacific Premier integration beat a $127 million cost-savings target by $5 million at June 30, 2026, and it added 30% more customers without adding call-center staff.[10][1][96][2]
