On the public record as of Oct 28, 2026, 21 of the 141 large banks profiled describe at least one sourced AI use case for document processing and contract review on their profile. Ranked by use cases (in production), the top 5 are Regions (3 use cases), BNY (2 use cases), Citi (2 use cases), Zions (2 use cases) and Deutsche Bank (1 use case).

## How is this ranked?

Data: the 141 bank profiles on this site (lib/banks), every entry dated and sourced: the "Where AI runs" use cases, each with a status (in production, rolling out, pilot, announced).

Rule: Use cases whose name or detail matches document (processing|extraction|summar|review|intelligence|classification)|intelligent document|\bIDP\b|\bOCR\b|contract (review|analysis|intelligence)|unstructured (data|documents). Score = matching use cases. Order: matching use cases, then those in production, then the strongest stage, then the newest source.

Counts: 21 of 141 profiled banks qualify; 29 distinct sources cited in the table. Data checked 2026-10-28; ranking template updated 2026-10-30.

## What are the caveats?

Banks absent from the table have nothing matching on the record this site holds, which is not evidence that they do nothing. Each row links the bank's own page, where every entry carries its sources.

## FAQ

### Which bank ranks first?

Regions Financial leads with 3 use cases: ATLAS Gen AI Gateway: Enterprise-grade, governed, model-agnostic platform launched in the fourth quarter of 2025. BNY is second with 2.

### How many large banks describe AI use cases for document processing?

21 of the 141 profiled banks (120 US, 21 non-US groups). Among those listed, 16 are US banks and 5 non-US groups.

### What counts, and what does not?

Use cases whose name or detail matches document (processing|extraction|summar|review|intelligence|classification)|intelligent document|\bIDP\b|\bOCR\b|contract (review|analysis|intelligence)|unstructured (data|documents). Score = matching use cases. Order: matching use cases, then those in production, then the strongest stage, then the newest source. Source: the 141 bank profiles on this site (lib/banks), every entry dated and sourced: the "Where AI runs" use cases, each with a status (in production, rolling out, pilot, announced).

### Is this a measure of capability?

No. Every row is a sourced fact on the public record: what the bank, a regulator, a filing or an independent outlet has put on the record. The page does not rate how well anything works.

### When was this checked, and how often does it update?

The data behind the table was last checked on 2026-10-28 (bank profiles). The page recomputes whenever that dataset changes and is republished with the site; it is never edited by hand.
