How does Royal Bank of Canada compare with its peers on AI and technology?
Royal Bank of Canada scores 80.2 on this site's global AI disclosure index, #20 of 140 banks and second in its 10-bank peer group, behind HSBC (88.5) and ahead of Deutsche Bank (78.9), UBS (76.5), Barclays (76), Scotiabank (75.5), TD (75.3), BMO (73.2), BNP Paribas (72) and Santander (71.3). The score measures what is on the record, not capability, and outside rankings put RBC higher: the 2026 Evident AI Index (October 6, 2026) ranked it third of 50 banks worldwide and first in Canada for a fifth straight year, against TD at 10th and BMO at 20th. Three things separate RBC from its Canadian peers. First, it built its own foundation model: ATOM, trained on more than 65 billion client transactions, sits behind retail credit adjudication. Second, capital-markets AI at scale: Aiden is deployed to more than 8,000 Capital Markets staff, and by October 2026 more than 72,000 employees used RBC Assist or Aiden. Third, a value target defined net of investment: C$700 million to C$1 billion of enterprise value by fiscal 2027, against TD's C$1 billion a year over the medium term and BMO's about C$1 billion a year by 2030. Where RBC trails: it reports AI value as a target, while TD reports C$195 million delivered in the first three quarters of fiscal 2026; BMO reports adoption above 96% of staff and Scotiabank says AI handles more than 40% of contact-centre queries, while RBC gives counts, not shares; and HSBC and UBS publish more on independent and production use cases (UBS: 560 live).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

Where does RBC lead its peers on AI?
01
Highest outside AI ranking of any peer
Evident's 2026 AI Index (October 6, 2026) ranked RBC third of 50 banks worldwide and first in Canada, its fifth straight top-three finish, with Leadership second and Talent eighth. TD returned to 10th (from 13th) and BMO placed 20th; HSBC was among the top ten in Evident's 2025 index.[1][2][3][13]
02
A proprietary foundation model in production credit
RBC Borealis built ATOM on more than 65 billion client transactions; it supports retail credit adjudication, which won an IDC CIO Award in August 2026, and lets RBC offer about 40% more credit-limit increases to newcomers. TD's Layer 6 built TD AI Prism, a causal foundation model, in June 2025.[4][14][1][15]
03
AI in capital markets, with output measures
Aiden reaches more than 8,000 Capital Markets staff; QuickTakes drafts research up to 95% faster and coverage per analyst rose from 14.5 names in 2024 to over 17.5 in October 2026. Barclays reports BARXBot FX quotes 75% faster and about 120,000 Global Markets emails a day processed with Claude.[6][1][16][17]
04
Patents and research depth
RBC says it filed more than 1,200 patents since 2019, 635 of them related to AI, and Borealis has more than 100 PhD scientists and 850-plus AI developers and data engineers. HSBC reports more than 50 active patents and about 150 pending applications; TD's Layer 6 had filed more than 60 patent applications by February 2024.[18][4][19][20]
Where does RBC trail its peers on AI?
01
A target, not yet a delivered figure
RBC's C$700 million to C$1 billion of AI enterprise value is a fiscal 2027 target, and McKay said in February 2026 the benefits were not yet visible in results. TD reports C$195 million of AI value delivered in the first three quarters of fiscal 2026 against a C$200 million target, and about C$170 million in 2025.[7][21][8][22]
02
Counts rather than adoption shares
RBC reports more than 72,000 employees on RBC Assist or Aiden (October 2026) but no share of staff. BMO reports adoption above 96% and Copilot use by more than 90% of 53,000 employees; Barclays says around 90% of colleagues use Microsoft Copilot; Scotiabank says AI handles more than 40% of contact-centre client queries.[1][10][23][16][11]
03
Fewer production use cases on the record than UBS or HSBC
RBC cites more than 200 AI models (May 2026). UBS reports 560 live AI use cases with more than 920 in development (July 2026), and HSBC's AI page says over 600 AI use cases are in operation; RBC ranks eighth of 10 on use cases described in this site's index.[24][12][25]
Where does RBC rank against its peers on AI disclosure?
Scores from reference score: the AI-index formula applied to all 140 profiles (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.

How does RBC's AI value target compare with TD's, BMO's and Scotiabank's?
Each bank's own definition. RBC's target is net of investment and incremental from fiscal 2024; TD splits its target between revenue and cost; BMO measures pre-provision, pre-tax income.
| Bank | Target | Delivered so far | As of |
|---|---|---|---|
| RBC | C$700 million to C$1 billion of enterprise value by fiscal 2027, net of investments | Not yet visible in results (February 2026); 'accelerating' (August 2026) | December 2025 - August 2026[7][21][67] |
| TD Bank Group | C$1 billion a year over the medium term (C$500 million revenue, C$500 million cost) | About C$170 million in 2025; C$195 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2026 | July 31, 2026[8][22] |
| BMO Financial Group | About C$1 billion a year of pre-provision, pre-tax income from AI by 2030 | About C$85 million annualised revenue from personalised offers (fiscal 2025) | September 22, 2026[9][116] |
| Scotiabank | No separate AI target; AI is part of technology spend | Technology spend C$1.5 billion in Q3 2026, up 16% | July 31, 2026[76] |
How do RBC Assist and Aiden compare in reach with the staff AI tools of its peers?
Reach is defined differently from bank to bank (users, access, adoption share), so compare definitions and dates.
| Bank | Platform | Reach as disclosed | As of |
|---|---|---|---|
| RBC | RBC Assist and Aiden (built with NVIDIA and Anthropic, Cohere-designed interface) | More than 72,000 employees on RBC Assist or Aiden; 10,000 technologists on other AI tools | October 6, 2026[1][117] |
| TD Bank Group | Copilot and a generative knowledge-management assistant | More than 40,000 colleagues on Copilot; more than 20,000 client-facing colleagues on the assistant | May-August 2026[53][52] |
| BMO Financial Group | Microsoft Copilot and Lumi | Adoption above 96%; more than 90% of 53,000 employees on Copilot | February-April 2026[10][23] |
| Scotiabank | Scotia Intelligence and Scotia Navigator | More than 71,000 employees with access; 14 million actions since March 2026 | June-July 2026[46][47] |

What rules shape how RBC and the other Canadian banks deploy AI?
RBC, TD, BMO and Scotiabank answer to the same prudential supervisor. OSFI finalised Guideline E-23 on model risk in September 2025, effective May 1, 2027, with added clarity for AI and machine-learning models; it issued a bulletin on generative and agentic AI in July 2026 and centred its October 2026 semi-annual risk outlook on frontier AI, third-party concentration and board accountability.[119][120][101]
The banks' own governance differs in form. RBC's 2025 annual report says AI is a key area of Board oversight and that RBC has established risk and governance processes for AI use cases; TD published seven Responsible AI Principles in July 2026; BMO describes an AI risk directive and a Responsible AI Forum; and a Scotiabank shareholder proposal for a report on AI in credit decisions won 22.21% of votes in April 2026, up from 12.19%.[18][121][58][122]
Which banks are RBC's peers, and why these?
Royal Bank of Canada is compared here with The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD Bank Group), Bank of Montreal (BMO Financial Group), The Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank), HSBC, Barclays PLC, UBS Group AG, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas SA and Banco Santander: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). Royal Bank of Canada is classed as a universal bank headquartered in Canada.
The computed group left out every Canadian rival, so this page compares RBC first with the three other Canadian banks in the index that it names as Big Five peers in its annual report (TD, BMO, Scotiabank) and then with the European universal banks it meets in capital markets and global wealth (HSBC, Barclays, UBS, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, Santander).
Is RBC better than TD at AI?
The record cannot settle capability. On disclosure, RBC scores 80.2 on this site's index against TD's 75.3, and Evident's 2026 index ranks RBC third of 50 banks and TD 10th. TD reports more delivered value (C$195 million in the first three quarters of fiscal 2026); RBC reports a larger target net of investment (C$700 million to C$1 billion by fiscal 2027).[1][2][8][7]
Which Canadian bank ranks highest for AI?
On Evident's 2026 AI Index, RBC: third of 50 banks worldwide and first in Canada for the fifth straight year. TD returned to 10th and BMO placed 20th. On this site's disclosure index RBC (80.2) leads the Canadian banks, ahead of Scotiabank (75.5) and TD (75.3), which are close to level, and BMO (73.2).[1][2][3]
How does RBC's technology spending compare with other Canadian banks?
McKay told a January 2026 Davos session that RBC spends C$6 billion a year on technology, C$2 billion of it on modernisation and AI; other reports give more than C$5 billion. Scotiabank reported C$1.5 billion of technology spend in the third quarter of 2026, and TD says 34% of its technology budget goes to innovation and development.[123][124][76]
How does RBC's Aiden compare with Barclays' AI in markets?
Aiden began in 2020 as a reinforcement-learning trading platform and now runs research and banking agents for more than 8,000 Capital Markets staff, drafting research up to 95% faster. Barclays reports BARXBot FX quotes 75% faster and about 120,000 Global Markets emails a day processed with Claude.[125][6][1][16][17]
Does RBC have its own AI model like TD?
Yes. RBC Borealis built ATOM, a foundation model trained on more than 65 billion client transactions that supports retail credit adjudication. TD's Layer 6 built TD AI Prism, a causal foundation model, and in May 2026 an agentic mortgage model that cut pre-adjudication from an average 15 hours to under three minutes.[4][5][15][51]
Who leads AI at RBC compared with BMO?
RBC created an AI Group reporting to the CEO in February 2026 under Bruce Ross, formerly Group Head of Technology and Operations. BMO named Kristin Milchanowski Chief AI and Quantum Officer and founding director of the BMO Institute for Applied AI and Quantum in April 2026.[6][54]
