Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida vs peers
AI and technology compared

Last updated Oct 20, 2026 · 7 peers · 82 sources cited

How does Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida compare with its peers on AI and technology?

On this site's AI disclosure index Seacoast scores 42.1 (#67 of 120 US banks), fourth in an eight-bank group of regionals that take Florida deposits, behind SouthState (70.9), Pinnacle (65.3) and BankUnited (63.5) and ahead of United Community (38.7), Hancock Whitney (37.4), City National Bank of Florida (26.9) and Ameris (20.7). What separates it is AI in production at the operating level. Since December 2025 its card and payment disputes run on Quavo's agentic-AI platform, which handles intake to resolution and detects fraud, and in October 2026 Abrigo reported that Seacoast's generative-AI loan-review assistant cut a clean credit line sheet from 8 to 10 hours to 4 to 6 hours. No other bank in the group has disclosed an AI dispute system; United Community says vendors' AI helped halve its fraud losses over two years (April 2026). Seacoast also publishes an 'AI Information' page written for AI assistants and large language models. Where it trails is people and numbers. It names no AI head, while Pinnacle names a head of AI and almost 20 AI engineers (July 2026) and BankUnited set up an AI and Data Advisory Group in July 2025. It discloses 11 AI-related numbers against SouthState's 20, which reports 2,500+ premium Copilot users and 12K+ prompts a day (June 30, 2026). Its own 10-K, filed February 27, 2026, says many competitors invest substantially greater resources in technology than it does.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Where does Seacoast Bank lead its peers on AI?

01

The only disclosed AI dispute platform in the group

Seacoast moved its card and payment disputes onto Quavo's QFD platform in December 2025; it runs the dispute lifecycle with agentic AI trained on millions of cases and supports Regulation E compliance. United Community credits vendors' AI with part of a 50% fall in fraud losses over two years (April 2026) but names no dispute system, and City National Bank of Florida's published fraud tools are rules-based Positive Pay and card controls.[1][3][10]

02

A measured generative-AI result in credit review

Abrigo's October 2026 case study reports that Seacoast's Loan Review Assistant cut clean line sheets from 8 to 10 hours to 4 to 6 hours, with every output human-reviewed, and that the bank aims to automate every non-judgemental credit-review task by 2028. Pinnacle's ChatPFP answered 18,000 banker questions and saved 3,000-plus hours by April 2026; BankUnited's SAVI assistant is reported at 95% accuracy over about 400 policy documents.[2][11][12]

03

Most use cases in production in the group

Seacoast's profile records 10 of 11 described AI use cases as in production, the highest in-production count in the eight-bank group alongside SouthState (10 of 20) and BankUnited (10 of 15); Hancock Whitney records 5 of 11. Seacoast's list runs from the Quavo dispute agent to Abrigo loan review and board-level AI risk oversight.[1][2][13]

04

A page written for AI search that no peer has published

Seacoast publishes an 'AI Information' page of structured facts 'intended for AI assistants and large language models', with explicit response instructions, last updated January 2026. None of the seven peers' profiles records an equivalent; BankUnited's and City National Bank of Florida's public AI content is fraud education on voice cloning and AI phishing.[4][14][15]

Where does Seacoast Bank trail its peers on AI?

01

No named AI leader, while Pinnacle and BankUnited name owners

Seacoast has named no chief AI or data officer; technology sits with CIO Jeff Semonovich (hired January 2025) and AI risk with the board's Information Technology Committee. Pinnacle names a head of AI, Kevin Johnson, and its CEO cited almost 20 AI engineers in July 2026; BankUnited's 2026 proxy describes an AI and Data Advisory Group formed in July 2025.[16][13][5][6][7]

02

Fewer disclosed AI numbers than SouthState

Seacoast scores 11 on disclosed numbers, seventh of eight in the group (median 14). SouthState reports 2,500+ premium and 2,200+ active basic Copilot users, 12K+ prompts a day and about 90% of credit spreads done by AI (June 30, 2026); Seacoast's AI figures are the Abrigo time savings and no usage or adoption count.[8][2]

03

Less independent coverage than SouthState and Pinnacle

Seacoast scores 4 on independent sources, fifth of eight, against 12 each for SouthState and Pinnacle; much of its AI record comes from its own filings, its AI Information page and vendors' case studies (Quavo, Abrigo). Pinnacle's head of AI and SouthState's Copilot programme have been covered by trade press.[9][4][5]

04

No customer-facing assistant or digital-user count

Seacoast's online and mobile banking offers mobile check deposit, Zelle, biometric login, real-time fraud alerts and budgeting tools, but no AI assistant, and it discloses no digital-user figure. Hancock Whitney reports 80% of new checking accounts digitally active and mobile account openings up 20% (Q4 2025); Regions reports 2.7 million active mobile users.[17][4][18][19]

Where does Seacoast Bank 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.

Which banks are Seacoast Bank's peers, and why these?

Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida is compared here with BankUnited, SouthState Bank, City National Bank of Florida, Hancock Whitney, Ameris Bancorp, United Community Banks and Pinnacle Financial Partners: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida is classed as a regional or retail-commercial bank in the Southeast.

The computed group mixed in TowneBank (Virginia), WesBanco (West Virginia), Trustmark, Renasant and FB Financial; this group holds the regional banks that take Florida deposits through their own branches, from the Miami-based BankUnited and City National Bank of Florida to SouthState, Pinnacle (through Synovus), Hancock Whitney, Ameris and United Community, while the national banks that lead Florida deposits are compared on the competitors page.

Is Seacoast Bank better than BankUnited at AI?

The record cannot settle capability, but BankUnited has put more on it: 63.5 on this site's disclosure index against Seacoast's 42.1. BankUnited discloses an AI and Data Advisory Group (July 2025) and an internal assistant, SAVI. Seacoast discloses more AI in operations: agentic dispute handling since December 2025 and generative-AI loan review that roughly halves documentation time.[7][12][1][2]

How does Seacoast compare with SouthState on AI?

SouthState scores 70.9 on the index and Seacoast 42.1. SouthState counts adoption: 2,500+ premium Copilot users, 12K+ prompts a day and a knowledge assistant answering 1,100-plus questions a day at June 30, 2026. Seacoast's record is narrower and operational: Quavo's dispute agent and Abrigo's loan-review assistant. Neither names a chief AI officer.[8][1][2][40]

Does Seacoast Bank have an AI virtual assistant for customers?

Not one it has disclosed. Its online and mobile banking offers mobile check deposit, Zelle, biometric login and real-time fraud alerts, and its AI use is behind the scenes, in disputes and loan review. Among Florida's largest banks, Bank of America says Erica helps more than 24.6 million clients and Wells Fargo says Fargo passed 1 billion interactions in March 2026.[17][1][77][78]

Which Florida bank uses AI for fraud and disputes?

Seacoast is the one in its peer group with a disclosed AI dispute platform: Quavo's agentic-AI system since December 2025. United Community says vendors' AI helped cut fraud losses 50% over two years, and Ameris describes a Voice ID upgrade that scores calls; City National Bank of Florida's published business fraud tools are Positive Pay and card controls.[1][3][68][10]

Who leads AI at Seacoast compared with Pinnacle?

Seacoast names no AI head; chief information officer Jeff Semonovich runs technology and the board's Information Technology Committee assesses AI risk. Pinnacle, which merged with Synovus on January 1, 2026, names a head of AI, Kevin Johnson, and its CEO said in July 2026 that it employs almost 20 AI engineers.[16][13][79][5][6]

How does Seacoast's technology spending compare with larger rivals?

Seacoast does not publish a technology budget. Its outsourced data processing cost $37.6 million in 2025, and its 10-K says many competitors invest substantially greater resources in technology. Among Florida's deposit leaders, JPMorgan Chase guided about $19.8 billion of 2026 technology expense and Bank of America $13.5 billion a year.[9][80][81]

What do Seacoast's SEC filings say about AI compared with peers'?

Seacoast's 10-K has carried a dedicated AI risk factor since February 2025, and the February 2026 filing adds AI-enabled competitors, internal reliance on AI and deepfake fraud. Ameris's 2025 10-K says limited internal AI use has increased efficiency; BankUnited's calls current AI use not material; Hancock Whitney's adds an AI Working Group.[82][9][47][28][34]

How does Seacoast compare with Hancock Whitney and City National Bank of Florida on AI?

Seacoast scores 42.1 on this site's index, Hancock Whitney 37.4 and City National Bank of Florida 26.9. Hancock Whitney's record is a digital rebuild with MX and an AI Working Group in its 10-K; City National's published fraud tools are rules-based and it files no 10-K. Seacoast is the only one of the three with disclosed AI in production in disputes and loan review.[31][34][10][1][2]
