Each row quotes one record from bank profiles; the “On this site” link opens the bank's own page or sub-page with every source. Banks absent from the table have nothing matching on the record this site holds.
Method
How is this ranked?
Data: the 141 bank profiles on this site (lib/banks), every entry dated and sourced: the "AI leadership" list (an AI index component).
Rule: Score = named leaders on the profile (each with a source). Listed from three leaders; ties by index score.
Counts: 140 of 141 profiled banks qualify; the table shows the top 40; 75 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.
Common questions
Which bank ranks first?
Santander US leads with 23 named leaders: Christiana Riley (CEO, Santander US and US country head); John Ciulla (CEO, Santander Bank, N.A. (from the Webster…); Ana Botín (Executive Chair, Banco Santander) and 20 more. Northern Trust is second with 20.
How many large banks name 3+ AI and technology leaders?
140 of the 141 profiled banks (120 US, 21 non-US groups); the table shows the top 40. Among those listed, 30 are US banks and 10 non-US groups.
What counts, and what does not?
Score = named leaders on the profile (each with a source). Listed from three leaders; ties by index score. Source: the 141 bank profiles on this site (lib/banks), every entry dated and sourced: the "AI leadership" list (an AI index component).
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.
