How does Eastern Bankshares compare with its peers on AI and technology?
On this site's AI disclosure index Eastern scores 36.3 (#81 of 120 US banks), seventh in a nine-bank group built from its own 2026 proxy peer list and the Boston-area banks. It trails BankUnited (63.5), F.N.B. (60.2), Associated (56.8), Atlantic Union (53.7), WaFd (52.3) and Fulton (44.3), and leads Rockland Trust (32.1) and Beacon (28.5), its two Boston-area rivals. Eastern's record is a claim of breadth without numbers. Its 2026 proxy lists 'Embedded AI into key systems and processes and enabled broad employee usage' among 2025 achievements, and its CEO said on April 24, 2026 that AI should help the bank anticipate customer needs and personalize recommendations. Its 2025 10-K, filed March 2, 2026, says 'the use of AI is not currently material to our operations', and Eastern names no AI tool, vendor or user count. That leaves it ninth of nine on disclosed numbers. The peers ahead of it put figures on the record. Associated's CEO cited 30 AI use cases in process and an internal build for $45,000 against an $800,000 purchase option in September 2026. Fulton reported 3,000 employees on Salesforce Agentforce agents, and F.N.B. reported 10 AI-enabled fraud tools. Against its Boston neighbors Eastern is ahead on the record. Rockland Trust budgeted three dedicated AI staff for 2026, and Beacon's 2026 quarterly filings have no AI reference. Eastern converted HarborOne's systems in February 2026, about three and a half months after closing.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Where does Eastern Bank lead its peers on AI?
01
Ahead of its two Boston-area rivals on the AI record
Eastern scores 36.3 on this site's index against Rockland Trust's 32.1 and Beacon's 28.5. Its proxy reports AI embedded in key systems with broad employee usage (March 2026); Rockland budgets three dedicated AI staff for 2026, and Beacon's Q2 2026 10-Q contains no AI reference.[1][7][8]
02
A faster acquisition conversion than Beacon's
Eastern closed HarborOne on November 1, 2025 and converted its core systems in February 2026, about three and a half months later. Beacon's merger of Berkshire Hills and Brookline closed on September 1, 2025, and its core conversion, first planned for November 2025, slipped to February 2026.[9][2][10][11][12]
03
Instant small-business credit built in-house
Eastern's Express Business Loan, built by its Eastern Labs incubator, takes a five-minute online application and often decides instantly up to $200,000; it earned Celent's Model Bank of the Year in 2016. Beacon expanded Baker Hill's AI-enabled document classification and spreading for SBA lending in June 2026.[13][14][15]
Where does Eastern Bank trail its peers on AI?
01
No AI numbers, while F.N.B., Fulton and Associated publish them
Eastern scores 10 on disclosed numbers, ninth of nine (median 13.5): it gives no AI user count, use-case count or saving. F.N.B. reports about 190,000 data-mined leads a quarter, Fulton 3,000 Agentforce users, and Associated 30 AI use cases in process (September 2026).[1][6][5][4]
02
AI 'not currently material', in the bank's own words
Eastern's 2025 10-K says 'the use of AI is not currently material to our operations', and its Q2 2026 10-Q mentions AI only as an operational risk. Associated's CEO, by contrast, cited an internal AI build at $45,000 against an $800,000 purchase option and expects efficiency gains in 2027 and 2028.[3][16][4]
03
No AI executive, while Associated and F.N.B. hired one
Eastern's digital and technology work sits with chief digital officer Ashley Nagle Eknaian and CIO Donald Westermann, with no AI role named. Associated hired Andy Miner from U.S. Bank as senior director of AI for commercial banking (June 2026); F.N.B. added a director of AI and innovation (September 2025).[17][1][18][19]
Where does Eastern Bank 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.

What has each bank in Eastern Bank's peer group disclosed about its AI?
Facts from each bank's profile, cited to the profile's own sources. "Not disclosed" means the bank's public record, as cited on its profile, does not state it.

Who runs AI at Eastern and its peers, and what governance is disclosed?
The executive accountable for AI or digital and the governance each bank describes. A blank means nothing is disclosed, not that nothing exists.
| Bank | AI or digital leader | Governance or board oversight | Date |

How do Eastern's lending and digital platforms compare with its peers'?
The customer-facing platforms each bank has named, with any scale disclosed.
| Bank | Platform | What it does or scale | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eastern | nCino for commercial, consumer and mortgage lending with Alloy fraud and identity decisioning; Salesforce; Express Business Loan | Connected lending across product lines; small-business decisions often instant up to $200,000 | November 2025; 2026[86][1][13] |

How did Eastern's HarborOne conversion compare with its peers' recent deals?
Most of this group closed acquisitions in 2025 and 2026; conversions have absorbed much of their technology effort.
| Bank | Deal and close | Core conversion | Disclosed result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eastern | HarborOne, about $490 million (November 1, 2025) | February 2026 | Q2 2026 operating efficiency ratio 49.0% against 52.8% in Q1; about $2 million of the $67 million of merger charges left[90][9][2][44] |

| Associated | American National, $604 million (April 1, 2026) | Integration under way in Q2 2026 | Expected cost savings raised to about 30% of the acquired expense base[57][94] |
How do Eastern and its peers talk about AI in filings and on calls?
What each bank's latest annual and quarterly filings and earnings calls say about AI. Filings language is risk disclosure, not a measure of use.
| Bank | Annual report (10-K) | 2026 quarterly filings and calls | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eastern | AI 'not currently material to our operations'; risks from biased data, opaque models, agentic-AI fraud and vendors' AI | Q2 10-Q lists AI only among operational risks; Q1 call: AI to anticipate needs and personalize recommendations; Q2 call: savings pushed into AI and technology | March to August 2026[3][16][2][95] |
| F.N.B. | Heavy reliance on models, AI and generative AI in credit, fraud, risk monitoring and customer engagement | AI in the 10-Qs only as a vendor and AI risk item; Q2 call: AI investment weighted to revenue | February to August 2026[96][75][97] |
| Associated | 27 occurrences of 'AI' in the 2025 10-K against 17 a year earlier | None in the Q1 or Q2 2026 10-Qs; 30 AI use cases cited at Barclays | August and September 2026[98][99][4] |
| Beacon | AI may 'intensify competition and accelerate disruption'; AI and algorithms may have unintended consequences | No AI reference in the Q2 2026 10-Q | March and August 2026[83][8] |
| Rockland Trust | Conference decks list an AI governance model as 'in process' | Q2 10-Q lists risks from AI use; Q2 call: the bank cannot take its foot off the pedal on AI and technology investment | July to September 2026[42][100][101] |
| BankUnited | AI language sits in the annual risk factors | No AI discussion in the Q1 or Q2 2026 10-Qs or on the Q1 call | May and August 2026[102][72][89] |
Which banks are Eastern Bank's peers, and why these?
Eastern Bankshares is compared here with Independent Bank Corp. (Rockland Trust), Beacon Financial Corporation, Fulton Financial Corporation, F.N.B. Corporation, Atlantic Union Bankshares, Associated Banc-Corp, BankUnited and WaFd, Inc.: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). Eastern Bankshares is classed as a regional or retail-commercial bank in the Northeast.
The computed group mixed in Glacier in Montana, City National Bank of Florida and a New York community bank; this group starts with the two other Boston-area banks on this site (Rockland Trust, a member of Eastern's 2025 compensation peer group, and Beacon) and adds six more banks from that proxy peer group of commercial banks of similar size (Fulton, F.N.B., Atlantic Union, Associated, BankUnited and WaFd).
Does Eastern Bank use AI?
It says so in general terms. Eastern's 2026 proxy lists embedding AI into key systems and processes and enabling broad employee usage among 2025 achievements, and its CFO said in July 2026 the bank is 'trying to push the use of AI'. Its 2025 10-K says AI use is not currently material, and it names no AI tool, vendor or user count.[1][95][3]
Is Eastern better than Rockland Trust at AI?
The record cannot settle capability, but Eastern has put a little more on it: 36.3 on this site's disclosure index against Rockland Trust's 32.1. Eastern reports AI embedded in key systems; Rockland Trust runs an Office of Digital Innovation that gates AI spending and budgeted three dedicated AI staff for 2026.[1][39][7]
How does Eastern compare with Associated on AI?
Associated scores 56.8 on this site's index and Eastern 36.3. Associated names a senior director of AI for commercial banking, a chief digital officer hired to advance AI, 30 AI use cases in process and a $45,000 internal build that replaced an $800,000 purchase option. Eastern discloses AI embedded in key systems but no numbers.[18][28][4][1]
Who leads digital and AI at Eastern Bank?
Chief digital officer Ashley Nagle Eknaian leads digital strategy and Eastern Labs and argues for experimentation, with AI as a tool. CIO Donald Westermann, a named executive officer, leads technology, operations, product and Eastern Labs and is the bank's voice on the nCino lending platform. No AI-specific role is named.[17][78][1][86]
What does Eastern's 10-K say about AI?
That AI 'is an emerging technology that presents both opportunities and risks', that its use 'is not currently material to our operations', and that the risks include flawed or biased data, opaque models, evolving AI law, agentic-AI synthetic-identity and deepfake fraud, and vendors building AI into their products (2025 10-K, filed March 2, 2026).[3]
How does Eastern's small-business lending technology compare?
Eastern's Express Business Loan, built in-house by Eastern Labs, offers a five-minute application with decisions often instant up to $200,000. Beacon added Baker Hill's AI-enabled document classification and spreading for SBA loans in June 2026, and F.N.B. sells business loans through its eStore Common app.[13][15][27]
Why is Eastern's AI score lower than F.N.B.'s?
Because F.N.B. has disclosed far more: 10 AI-enabled fraud tools, about 190,000 data-mined leads a quarter, an AI governance committee and machine-learning deposit pricing. Eastern places ninth of nine on disclosed numbers and eighth on independent coverage. The index measures what banks put on the record, not what they run.[6][81][97][1]
