Each row quotes one record from bank profiles via the AI index; 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.
How is this ranked?
Data: the AI disclosure index (/banks/ai-index): eight components of the public record on AI (independent coverage, use cases in production, a named platform, own disclosures, moves in the last twelve months, numbers, leaders, use cases described), each a percentile rank; peer group: US banks with consolidated assets of $500bn or more in the Federal Reserve's large-bank release.
Rule: The peer group filtered from the index, in index order (score, then independent coverage, then assets). The score is the bank's percentile rank on each component against the full index set, weighted and summed; a bank that has disclosed no AI programme is capped at 30.
Counts: 10 of 141 profiled banks qualify; 20 distinct sources cited in the table. Data checked 2026-10-28; ranking template updated 2026-10-30.
What are the caveats?
The index measures depth of the public record, not capability; a bank that builds quietly ranks below one that publishes.
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.
Which bank ranks first?
Bank of America leads with 97.1 index points: Index score 97.1/100: 16 of 18 use cases in production, platform Erica (and EricaAssist), 38 independent of 71 sources. Citi is second with 95.2.
How many large banks over $500bn in assets rank on the AI index?
10 of the 141 profiled banks (120 US, 21 non-US groups). Among those listed, 10 are US banks and 0 non-US groups.
What counts, and what does not?
The peer group filtered from the index, in index order (score, then independent coverage, then assets). The score is the bank's percentile rank on each component against the full index set, weighted and summed; a bank that has disclosed no AI programme is capped at 30. Source: the AI disclosure index (/banks/ai-index): eight components of the public record on AI (independent coverage, use cases in production, a named platform, own disclosures, moves in the last twelve months, numbers, leaders, use cases described), each a percentile rank; peer group: US banks with consolidated assets of $500bn or more in the Federal Reserve's large-bank release.
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 via the AI index). The page recomputes whenever that dataset changes and is republished with the site; it is never edited by hand.
