How does Huntington Bancshares compare with its peers on AI and technology?
Huntington scores 84.2 on this site's US AI disclosure index (#13 of 120), third of the nine Midwest and Southern super-regionals in its peer group, behind BMO's US bank (85.8) and Citizens (85.3) and level with Fifth Third (84) and Regions (83.8); PNC trails at 68.2. Three things separate it from named peers. It counts its agents: two at the end of 2022, 50 in production and more than 60 in development by April 2026, with about 15 entering the pipeline a month; PNC's comparable figure is the roughly 115 agents that built its new mobile app, and Fifth Third publishes no agent count. It sets a return target: CFO Zach Wasserman, who also leads the AI program, aims for 10-15% cost reductions and 10-15% revenue increases from targeted LLM and agentic use cases, set per use case, where Citizens states a $450 million run-rate goal for its wider Reimagine the Bank program. And it applies AI where it leads the market: as the largest SBA 7(a) lender by number of loans, it invested in and is deploying Casca's generative-AI loan origination alongside Live Oak, the largest by dollar volume. Where it trails is outside coverage (19 independent sources against Fifth Third's 26) and building: it expects up to 80% of its AI to come from vendors, while PNC is building its own language models.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Where does Huntington lead its peers on AI?
01
The only peer that counts agents in production
Huntington went from two AI agents in Q4 2022 to 50 in production and more than 60 in development by April 2026, adding about 15 a month, including finance-team agents for SEC reporting, tax and more than 200 regulatory reports a year. PNC reports about 115 agents that built its new mobile app; Truist plans to 'hire' agents as digital teammates in 2026; Fifth Third and KeyBank publish no agent count.[1][2][8]
02
A return target on every AI use case
Wasserman said in September 2025 that Huntington is on track for 10-15% cost reductions and 10-15% revenue increases from targeted LLM and agentic use cases, and in April 2026 management took about $50 million out of the expense base, citing 'agentic process transformation'. Regions expects a 20% productivity boost and KeyBank about $100 million a year from continuous improvement.[3][9][10][11]
03
Generative AI in SBA lending, where it leads by volume
Huntington, the largest originator of SBA 7(a) loans by number, invested in Casca's $29 million round in August 2025 with Live Oak, the largest by dollar volume, and is a design partner for Casca's generative-AI loan origination; credit decisions stay with existing underwriting models and loan officers. Celtic Bank became Casca's third top-10 SBA lender client in 2026.[5][12][13]
04
More dated AI moves than all peers but BMO
The profile records 29 dated AI moves in the last 12 months, second of nine behind BMO's US bank (33) against a peer median of 25.5, and 15 of 17 described use cases in production, second only to U.S. Bancorp's 16. Recent entries include the Cadence conversion finished 235 days after announcement with AI-enabled tools and an Artificial Intelligence Risk Committee named in its 10-Q.[14][15][16]
Where does Huntington trail its peers on AI?
01
Less independent coverage than Fifth Third, Citizens or KeyBank
Huntington has 19 independent sources on its AI on this site against 26 for Fifth Third and 25 each for Citizens and KeyBank, fifth of nine; independent coverage carries 45% of the index weight, which keeps it behind BMO's US bank and Citizens despite more use cases in production.[1][17]
02
Mostly bought, not built
Wasserman expects up to 80% of Huntington's AI to come from vendor suites (Salesforce and Microsoft are named partners) and about 20% to be built in-house. PNC announced an 'AI factory' in June 2026 with its own data centers, Nvidia chips and in-house large and small language models.[3][6][7]
03
Generative-AI use cases behind its own target
Huntington had deployed 28 generative-AI use cases by September 2025 against a target of 100. Truist reports more than 50 AI use cases deployed in 2025 and U.S. Bancorp 16 use cases in production on this site's profile.[3][8]
04
No named conversational assistant with published scale
Huntington's customer-facing AI is personalization: Heads Up delivered 14 million insights a month across 96 use cases in March 2025, on Personetics software. Peers publish assistant results: Fifth Third's Jeanie contains 42% of requests in self-service, Citizens' CiZi cut mobile-banking calls 44%, and Truist Assist resolved 81% of inquiries in Q3 2025.[18][19][20][21]
Where does Huntington 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 do Huntington's AI agents and return targets compare with its peers'?
Each bank's own figures; agent counts and targets are defined differently.
| Bank | Agents or AI scale disclosed | Financial target or result | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Huntington | 50 agents in production, 60-plus in development, about 15 a month | 10-15% cost reduction and 10-15% revenue increase from targeted use cases; about $50 million taken out of the expense base (April 2026) | 2025-2026[1][3][9] |
| PNC | About 115 agents built the new mobile app; in-house language models in an 'AI factory' | About 40 points of operating leverage from AI, 2025-2030 | 2026[2][7][81] |
| Citizens | About 800 developers with coding agents; CiZi assistant | About $450 million run-rate benefit from Reimagine the Bank by 2028 | 2025-2026[51][82] |
| Truist | Agents as 'digital teammates' to be formally hired in 2026; more than 50 AI use cases deployed in 2025 | Not stated | 2026[8] |
| Fifth Third | MCP server for clients' agents; over 87% of unit testing automated | About 4 million labour hours to be redeployed after the Comerica conversion | 2025-2026[26][83][84] |
| KeyBank | Conversational AI in the contact center | AI-handled call about $0.25 against about $9 for a human; about $100 million a year from continuous improvement | Q4 2025[11] |
| BMO (US) | More than 96% employee AI adoption (group); Aura underwriting agent | C$1 billion of annual benefit from AI by 2030 (group) | 2026[62][23][76] |
How does Huntington's customer-facing AI compare with other regional banks'?
What each bank's customers see, with the result the bank has published.
| Bank | Customer AI | Result disclosed | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Huntington | Heads Up personalized insights (Personetics); AI-personalized deposit offers; Euromoney best US digital bank for consumers | 14 million insights a month across 96 use cases, 4.7 of 5 satisfaction | March 2025; July 2026[18][17][85] |
| Truist | Truist Insights and Truist Assist | More than 2 billion proactive insights since 2023; 81% of Assist inquiries resolved by the chatbot (Q3 2025) | 2025-2026[28][21] |
| Fifth Third | Jeanie and an AI app interface with 150 intents | Intent accuracy about 90%; self-service containment 42% | 2024-2026[19][25] |
| Citizens | CiZi | Mobile-banking call volume down 44% | 2026[20] |
| U.S. Bancorp | Smart Assistant (voice-first) | 2.5 million uses a month | 2025[86] |
How does Huntington organize AI compared with its peers?
Huntington is the large bank where the chief financial officer runs AI: Zach Wasserman, a former CFO of Visa North America, leads finance, strategy, data analytics and enterprise AI adoption, with a central team and embedded teams in each business. Its board Technology Committee oversees AI strategy and implementation, and its 10-K and 10-Q describe a management Artificial Intelligence Risk Committee and a risk-tiered generative-AI framework that requires human oversight for higher-impact uses.[1][87][16][15][88]
Peers put AI under technology or operations leaders instead. Citizens' CIO Michael Ruttledge ties generative and agentic AI to moving every application into the cloud; Truist's CIO plans to manage AI agents like staff; Fifth Third's CIO Jude Schramm buys more than he builds; and PNC's CEO Bill Demchak announced the AI factory himself. Huntington's finance-led model is why its disclosures come as return targets and agent counts rather than product launches.[20][8][89][7][3]
Which banks are Huntington's peers, and why these?
Huntington Bancshares is compared here with Fifth Third Bancorp, PNC Financial Services, KeyCorp (KeyBank), Regions Financial, Citizens Financial Group, U.S. Bancorp, Truist Financial and BMO (U.S.): chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). Huntington Bancshares is classed as a regional or retail-commercial bank in the Midwest.
Huntington is compared with the Midwest and Southern super-regionals it meets in Ohio, Michigan, Chicago and now Texas (Fifth Third, PNC, KeyBank, Regions, Citizens, U.S. Bank, Truist and BMO's US bank) rather than with the default group's First Citizens, TD's and HSBC's US arms, whose models are a commercial and venture lender and foreign banks' US subsidiaries.
Is Huntington better than Fifth Third at AI?
The record does not settle it: Huntington scores 84.2 and Fifth Third 84 on this site's disclosure index. Huntington counts agents (50 in production in April 2026) and sets a 10-15% cost and revenue return target; Fifth Third publishes assistant and engineering metrics and runs an MCP server that lets clients' AI agents use its payments tools. Fifth Third has more outside coverage (26 sources against 19).[1][3][83][26]
How does Huntington compare with PNC on AI?
Huntington scores 84.2 and PNC 68.2 on this site's index, mostly on disclosure. The approaches differ: Huntington expects up to 80% of its AI from vendors and measures returns per use case, while PNC is building its own language models in an 'AI factory' and says about 115 agents built its new app. Both are expanding in Texas.[3][7][2][90]
How many AI agents does Huntington have compared with other banks?
Fifty in production and more than 60 in development as of April 2026, with about 15 new ones entering the pipeline each month, up from two at the end of 2022. Among regional peers only PNC gives a comparable figure, about 115 agents used to build its new mobile app; BNY, a custody bank outside the group, counted about 140 'digital employees' in April 2026.[1][2][91]
Does Huntington use AI for small-business loans?
It is deploying it. Huntington, the largest originator of SBA 7(a) loans by number, invested in Casca's $29 million Series A in August 2025 and is a design partner for its generative-AI loan origination; applicants can question a chatbot overnight and a banker reviews the exchange the next morning, with credit decisions left to existing underwriting models and loan officers. Live Oak, the largest by dollar volume, uses the same platform.[5][13][12]
Who leads AI at Huntington compared with other banks?
Chief financial officer Zach Wasserman, who told Fortune in April 2026 that he leads the AI effort for the company, alongside finance, strategy and data analytics. That is unusual among peers: Citizens, Truist and Fifth Third run AI through their chief information officers, and PNC's CEO announced its AI factory. Huntington's board Technology Committee oversees AI strategy and implementation.[1][20][8][92][7][87]
Is Huntington's digital bank better than its rivals'?
Euromoney named Huntington the United States' best digital bank for consumers in July 2026, and its Heads Up personalization delivered 14 million insights a month across 96 use cases at a 4.7 out of 5 satisfaction score (March 2025). Peers' awards and measures differ: Fifth Third's Jeanie won Tearsheet's best chatbot award in 2026 and Citizens says CiZi cut mobile-banking calls by 44%.[85][18][19][20]
