Stifel Financial (Stifel Bank & Trust) vs peers
AI and technology compared

Last updated Oct 19, 2026 · 6 peers · 91 sources cited

How does Stifel Financial (Stifel Bank & Trust) compare with its peers on AI and technology?

On this site's AI disclosure index Stifel Financial, the parent of Stifel Bank & Trust, scores 6.5 (#104 of 120 US banks), last in a group of seven wealth and investment-banking firms led by Raymond James (84.5), Schwab (80.7), Goldman Sachs (79.9) and Northern Trust (79.7). The gap is in what the peers have named and counted. Raymond James built Rai, a proprietary generative-AI operations agent with 6,500 users and 99.5% satisfaction (July 2026), and spends more than $1.1 billion a year on technology. Morgan Stanley says about 98% of its 80,000 employees have generative-AI access (June 2026), and UBS says nearly 90% of its financial-advisor teams use its flagship AI platform (April 2026). Stifel names no AI tool, no technology budget and no AI officer. What it has disclosed is a stance and a framework. CEO Ron Kruszewski says AI 'only increases the value of judgment, trust, and relationships' and his 2025 letter says agents already gather information and prepare analysis before advisers meet clients. The 2025 10-K describes a centralized inventory of AI technologies, risk-based classification and contractual explainability rights over vendors' AI, and the term 'AI' appears 57 times in it, against none two years earlier. Stifel ranked first in J.D. Power's employee-adviser satisfaction study for a fourth year in July 2026, the same study that found 73% of advisers actively using AI tools.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Where does Stifel Bank lead its peers on AI?

01

A written AI risk framework with vendor explainability rights

Stifel's 2025 10-K describes a centralized inventory of AI technologies, risk-based classification and security guardrails before deployment, and says it seeks explainability, validation and incident-notification rights from third-party AI providers. Morgan Stanley's 2025 10-K weaves generative AI through its risk factors but has no standalone AI risk factor, and Raymond James' fiscal 2026 10-Qs do not mention AI.[7][11][12]

02

The top adviser-satisfaction score in the year advisers adopted AI

Stifel ranked first in J.D. Power's 2026 employee-adviser satisfaction study for a fourth straight year, scoring 812 of 1,000, 180 points above the segment average. The same study found 73% of employee advisers actively using AI tools, up from 44%; Stifel's CEO says technology should adapt to advisers rather than the reverse.[9][10][13]

03

Fast-rising AI disclosure in its own filings

The term 'AI' appears 0 times in Stifel's FY2023 10-K, 26 times in FY2024 and 57 times in FY2025, and its earnings decks have carried an AI slide since July 2025. Raymond James' fiscal 2025 10-K carries one AI risk factor. Stifel ranks 3rd of 7 on own primary disclosures (18 against a median of 14.5).[8][14][7][15][16]

04

A bank that lends to AI companies as well as using AI

Stifel Venture Banking provided a $35 million debt facility to Sage, which sells AI-powered fall-detection and safety hardware (July 2026), and Kore.ai named Stifel Bank its banking partner (January 2026). First Citizens' SVB, the largest rival in venture banking, reports $123 billion of client funds and $48 billion of loans (June 2026).[17][18][19]

Where does Stifel Bank trail its peers on AI?

01

No named adviser AI tool or usage count, while Raymond James and Morgan Stanley report theirs

Stifel says AI agents prepare analysis before adviser meetings but names no tool and gives no usage figure. Raymond James' Rai has 6,500 unique users at 99.5% satisfaction (July 2026); Morgan Stanley says 98% of advisor teams use its AI @ Morgan Stanley Assistant (June 2024).[6][1][20]

02

No AI leader, last of seven on named leaders

Stifel names no chief AI or data officer; its 10-K says COO David Sliney leads technology with an emphasis on cloud, data and AI, and the proxy credits Brad Raymond with the Institutional Group's AI strategy. Raymond James named Stuart Feld chief AI officer in February 2025, and UBS runs a Chief AI Office. Stifel scores 6 against a group median of 14.5.[7][21][22][23]

03

No technology budget on the record

Stifel discloses no technology or AI spend. Raymond James says it spends more than $1.1 billion a year on technology (April 2026), and Goldman Sachs says all 46,000 of its employees have the GS AI Assistant (July 2025).[7][2][24]

04

Half the group's independent coverage

Stifel scores 10 on independent sources against a group median of 20, last of seven; much of its record is its own decks, letters and research. Goldman Sachs leads with 39, and Morgan Stanley's agent platform for stock-plan clients drew CNBC coverage in June 2026.[25][26][27]

Where does Stifel 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 Stifel Bank's peers, and why these?

Stifel Financial (Stifel Bank & Trust) is compared here with Raymond James Financial, Morgan Stanley, The Charles Schwab Corporation, UBS (US), Goldman Sachs and Northern Trust: chosen by the editors for this page (see the note below the table). Stifel Financial (Stifel Bank & Trust) is classed as a investment bank, broker or wealth manager in the Midwest.

The computed group mixed Stifel with Midwest community banks, a health-savings bank and Deutsche Bank's US arm; Stifel Bank is the balance sheet of a wealth-management and investment-banking firm, so this group holds the brokerage, wealth and investment-banking groups that own banks, two of which (Raymond James and Northern Trust) sit in Stifel's own 2026 proxy peer group.

Is Stifel behind Raymond James on AI?

On the record, yes: Raymond James scores 84.5 on this site's disclosure index against Stifel's 6.5. Raymond James names a chief AI officer, reports 6,500 users of its Rai agent at 99.5% satisfaction and spends more than $1.1 billion a year on technology. Stifel describes AI agents in adviser preparation but names no tool or budget. Scores measure disclosure, not capability.[22][1][2][6]

What AI does Stifel use for its financial advisers?

Kruszewski's 2025 shareholder letter says AI agents gather information, prepare analysis and present options before advisers meet clients, and that 'we can get 80 hours of work done in 40'. In July 2025 he said copilot tools had been rolled out, seats on more sophisticated large language models bought and about 70 workflows identified for agents.[6][79]

Does AI threaten Stifel's advice model?

Investors worried so on February 10, 2026, when Stifel fell 6% and Raymond James 8.8% after Altruist launched an AI tax-planning tool for advisers. Stifel's CEO argues the opposite: AI makes information abundant and 'only increases the value of judgment, trust, and relationships', and he called AI an accelerator rather than a replacement for human costs in July 2026.[48][49][5][25]

How does Stifel govern AI compared with Morgan Stanley?

Stifel's 2025 10-K describes a centralized AI inventory, risk-based classification, guardrails before deployment and explainability rights in vendor contracts, with AI governance built into its information security program. Morgan Stanley weaves generative AI through its 10-K risk factors and uses the FINOS AI Governance Framework when onboarding new vendors.[7][11][83]

How much does Stifel spend on technology compared with Raymond James?

Stifel does not disclose a technology budget. Raymond James says it spends more than $1.1 billion a year on technology (April 2026) and put fiscal 2025 technology investment including AI at about $1 billion. Raymond James reports $1.92 trillion of client assets against Stifel's $580.1 billion.[7][2][91][84][46]

Which wealth firm has the most advisers using AI?

Among those that report it, Morgan Stanley says 98% of advisor teams use its AI Assistant and about 98% of its 80,000 employees have generative-AI access; UBS says nearly 90% of its US financial-advisor teams use its flagship AI platform. Industry-wide, J.D. Power found 73% of employee advisers using AI tools in 2026. Stifel gives no figure.[20][3][4][10]

Does Stifel use AI in investment banking and research?

Its CEO said in 2026 that AI lets bankers evaluate more opportunities and research analysts uncover more insights, and the 2026 proxy credits Brad Raymond with the Institutional Group's AI strategy. Morgan Stanley's AskResearchGPT draws on more than 70,000 research reports, and all 46,000 Goldman employees have the GS AI Assistant.[13][21][44][24]

How does Stifel Bank fit into Stifel's AI story?

Stifel Bank & Trust is the firm's balance sheet: $24.8 billion of loans at June 30, 2026, after growing $2.6 billion in the quarter, mostly through fund banking, funded by client cash swept from the brokerage. It also lends to AI companies through Stifel Venture Banking, including a $35 million facility for Sage in July 2026.[46][7][17]
