How does NBT Bancorp compare with its peers on AI and technology?
On this site's AI disclosure index NBT Bancorp scores 14.1 (#100 of 120 US banks), eighth in a nine-bank Northeast group, ahead only of Dime (10.5) and well behind Fulton (44.3), Community Bank N.A. (41.9) and OceanFirst (40.5). The gap is in what NBT has disclosed, not necessarily what it runs. Its 2025 10-K says AI use 'varies across platforms', mostly inside third-party systems, and that internally built AI-enabled tools pass through its Solutions Development Lifecycle with model validation; CEO Scott Kingsley's April 2026 letter says embedded AI is reducing workload so staff can focus on relationships. It names no AI tool, use case, budget or AI executive, and its Q1 and Q2 2026 10-Qs do not mention AI. Peers have put specifics on the record. Community Bank's CEO said in July 2026 that more than a dozen people work on AI and its data-processing expense rose 17.9% partly on AI applications; Fulton had 3,000 employees using Salesforce Agentforce six weeks after its first agent (September 2026); OceanFirst runs the HAILEY virtual assistant and Microsoft Copilot across all departments (May 2026). Where NBT does stand out is governance groundwork: it was one of the institutions credited with contributing to FS-ISAC's AI risk framework in February 2024, and its technology and data services expense rose to $44.0 million in 2025 from $39.1 million in 2024. Its CEO said in July 2026 that smaller banks' technology needs create an acquisition opportunity for NBT.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
Data as of Oct 20, 2026 · NBT profile updated Oct 13, 2026 · computed tables recalculate from the 140 bank profiles on this site · Markdown
Where does NBT lead its peers on AI?
01
A contributor to the industry's AI risk framework
NBT is named among the institutions that helped develop FS-ISAC's six papers on AI risk and responsible AI use in financial services (February 2024). No other bank in its nine-bank group is credited on its profile with work on an industry AI framework.[10]
02
AI tools routed through a validation lifecycle in the 10-K
NBT's 2025 10-K says internally developed AI-enabled tools are evaluated through its Solutions Development Lifecycle, including model validation and other risk controls. Rockland Trust's AI governance model was still 'in process' in its September 2026 deck, and Beacon's filings since its merger mention AI only in risk factors.[1][12][13]
03
Technology owned by the bank's president
NBT's 2026 proxy lists Joseph Stagliano as Senior EVP, President of NBT Bank and Chief Information Officer, responsible for IT and operations. At Rockland Trust technology moved under a chief administrative officer in November 2025; Dime has no executive officer with an AI or data title.[14][15][16]
Where does NBT trail its peers on AI?
01
No named AI tool or use case while peers name theirs
NBT names no AI product, vendor or use case. Fulton runs Salesforce Agentforce (3,000 employees six weeks after its first agent) and NICE Copilot summaries; OceanFirst runs HAILEY and Microsoft Copilot across all departments; First Commonwealth cites a vendor call-center AI feature among 'a dozen or more' uses.[1][7][17][9][18]
02
No AI headcount, against Community Bank's dozen-plus
NBT discloses no AI team. Community Bank N.A.'s CEO said in July 2026 that more than a dozen people work on AI, a handful fully dedicated, and Rockland Trust named three dedicated AI staff in its 2026 guidance.[14][5][19]
03
Silent on AI in 2026 filings and calls
NBT's Q1 and Q2 2026 10-Qs contain no AI language, and its 2026 earnings calls discussed technology investment without AI. Community Bank has tied AI applications to its data-processing expense growth in each of the last three quarterly releases.[3][4][20][21][22][6]
04
No customer AI assistant
NBT's digital platform offers credit-score access and a personal financial management tool, with no AI assistant described. OceanFirst's HAILEY answers balance and transaction questions by phone, web and app, and Community Bank set a customer AI solution as a 2026 launch objective.[1][8][23]
Where does NBT 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.
| Bank | Score | Rank | Independent sources | Own disclosures | Use cases in production | Moves, last 12 months | Named AI platform |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fulton Financial Corporation | 44.3 | #66 of 120 | 6 | 23 | 10 of 12 | 17 | Not disclosed |
| Community Financial System (Community Bank, N.A.) | 41.9 | #68 of 120 | 4 | 24 | 9 of 12 | 12 | AI team inside a four-business diversified model[5][6][24] |

What has each bank in NBT's peer group disclosed about its AI?
Facts from each bank's profile, cited to the profile's own sources. "Not disclosed" means the bank's public record, as cited on its profile, does not state it.

What has NBT disclosed about AI compared with its Northeast peers?
The most specific AI disclosure each bank has made, with its date and where it appeared. A blank means nothing is disclosed, not that nothing exists.

Which banks are NBT's peers, and why these?
NBT Bancorp is compared here with Community Financial System (Community Bank, N.A.), First Commonwealth Financial Corporation, Fulton Financial Corporation, Beacon Financial Corporation, Independent Bank Corp. (Rockland Trust), Eastern Bankshares, OceanFirst Financial Corp. and Dime Commercial Bancshares: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). NBT Bancorp is classed as a regional or retail-commercial bank in the Northeast.
The computed group included Banner (Washington) and First United (Oklahoma), which share none of NBT's markets; this group keeps the Northeast and Pennsylvania regionals of similar size, led by Community Bank N.A., its closest rival in upstate New York, and adds Fulton and Eastern, while the much larger M&T and KeyBank are compared on the competitors page.
Does NBT Bank use AI?
Yes, by its own account, mostly inside vendor systems. NBT's 2025 10-K says certain third-party systems incorporate AI into routine operations and that internally developed AI tools go through model validation; the CEO's April 2026 letter says embedded AI is reducing workload. NBT has not named a tool, use case or AI budget.[1][2]
Is NBT behind Community Bank N.A. on AI?
On the public record, yes: Community Bank scores 41.9 on this site's disclosure index and NBT 14.1. Community Bank discloses an AI team of more than a dozen people, AI-linked expense growth and an AI governance framework in its 10-K. NBT discloses governance and a responsible-use stance but no AI staffing or tools.[5][6][70][1][2]
Does NBT have an AI virtual assistant?
None is disclosed. NBT's digital platform offers credit-score access and a personal financial management tool. Among its Northeast peers, OceanFirst runs the HAILEY virtual assistant by phone, web and app, and Fulton's contact center uses NICE Copilot summaries and has added chat.[1][8][17]
Who leads AI and technology at NBT?
NBT has named no AI executive. Joseph Stagliano is Senior EVP, President of NBT Bank and Chief Information Officer, responsible for IT and operations, per the 2026 proxy. Its cyber programme runs through the Chief Risk Officer, a role Joe Sergienko took over from Amy Wiles in mid-2026.[14][1][2][80]
How does NBT's technology spending compare with its peers'?
NBT's technology and data services expense was $44.0 million in 2025, up from $39.1 million, and $11.85 million in Q2 2026. Community Bank's data-processing and communications expense was $19.7 million in Q2 2026, up 17.9%. NBT guided 2026 operating expense growth of 2.5% to 3%, including technology investment.[1][67][6][64]
How does NBT compare with Fulton on AI?
Fulton scores 44.3 on this site's index against NBT's 14.1. Fulton says 3,000 employees used Salesforce Agentforce six weeks after its first agent and that its contact center, serving more than 3 million interactions a year, uses NICE Copilot summaries. NBT names no comparable tool.[7][17][1]
Has NBT done anything on AI governance?
Yes. It is credited with contributing to FS-ISAC's AI risk framework for financial services (February 2024), its 10-K routes internally developed AI tools through a validation lifecycle and names generative-AI confidentiality and IP risks, and the CEO's letter describes AI used 'thoughtfully and responsibly'.[10][1][2]
How does NBT compare with OceanFirst on AI?
OceanFirst scores 40.5 on this site's index against NBT's 14.1. OceanFirst names its stack: a Databricks data platform, the kore.ai-based HAILEY virtual assistant and Microsoft Copilot across all departments, governed by an Automation Transformation Office. NBT says its AI sits mostly inside third-party systems and names no tool.[9][25][1]
How does NBT compare with Rockland Trust on AI?
Rockland Trust scores 32.1 on this site's index against NBT's 14.1. Rockland set up an Office of Digital Innovation and an AI steering committee in early 2026 and budgeted three dedicated AI staff. NBT discloses governance through its development lifecycle and a responsible-use stance, but no AI team.[65][19][1][2]
