## How is this ranking computed?

Score: the eight-component AI-index formula of /banks/ai-index (independent coverage 45%, use cases in production 10%, a named platform 10%, own primary disclosures 10%, dated moves in the last twelve months 10%, disclosed numbers 5%, named leaders 5%, use cases described 5%), with each component as the bank's percentile rank among all 140 profiled banks rather than the 120 US banks. The US index rank is shown for reference and can differ by a few places.

Banks whose page records that they have disclosed no AI programme are excluded. Ties: assets, then name. Date: the latest dated move on the bank's page.

## What are the caveats?

The score measures the depth of the public record, not capability: a bank that builds quietly ranks below one that publishes. Independent coverage carries the most weight, so a bank covered widely by the trade press rises even when its own disclosures are short.

Use-case counts are of distinct systems described on the bank's page, each with a source; a bank may run more than it has described.

## How does this differ from the AI index?

The AI index ranks the 120 US banks only; this page applies the same formula to all 140 profiles, including the 20 non-US groups, and shows production use cases and the named platform beside the score. The AI index and its method: https://www.bankingnewsai.com/banks/ai-index.

## FAQ

### Which bank is the leader in AI?

Bank of America leads this ranking with 95.9 / 100: 16 of 18 described AI use cases in production, a named platform (Erica (and EricaAssist)) and 37 / 68 independent sources among all sources on its page. On Evident's capability-based AI index, JPMorgan Chase and Capital One led in October 2025.

### How many large banks have an AI programme on the record?

123 of the 140 profiled banks disclose an AI programme; 98 of those have named an in-house platform or programme. 17 have not disclosed an AI programme, leader, vendor or budget.

### Does the ranking measure capability or disclosure?

Disclosure. Every input is a sourced fact on the bank's page on this site: what the bank has said and what independent outlets have reported. It does not measure model quality, return on investment or the size of the programme.

### Why does a bank's rank here differ from its rank on the AI index page?

The formula is the same, but the peer group is all 140 profiles rather than the 120 US banks, so each percentile shifts slightly. The US rank is shown in the first column.

### Which non-US banks lead in AI?

Among the 20 non-US groups profiled, the highest in this ranking are Commonwealth Bank, HSBC and DBS; see the tier table.

### How often is the ranking updated?

It recomputes whenever a bank page is updated; the data date is Oct 6, 2026. Bank pages are refreshed on a biweekly routine.
