*AI behind the counter of a small-business bank account: an AI chatbot that contains most support inquiries, machine learning in underwriting, check processing and fraud controls, and mostly AI-written code, now being sold to a regional bank that wants the engineering team as much as the deposits.*

## How is Bluevine using AI?

Bluevine's AI is operational: an AI chatbot that handles about 80% of inbound customer inquiries, machine learning in underwriting, check processing and fraud controls, and more than 90% of new code written by AI, according to Valley National Bancorp's deal presentation. Valley agreed on September 28, 2026 to buy Bluevine for about $340 million, citing its AI talent and $2.1 billion of deposits from 175,000 active small-business customers; closing is expected in early 2027.

## Flagship platform: Bluevine's AI support and risk stack

Bluevine runs an AI chatbot, backed by human agents, that CEO Eyal Lifshitz said resolved over three-quarters of customer interactions in its first month; Valley National's September 2026 deal presentation puts AI containment at about 80% of inbound inquiries and says more than 90% of Bluevine's new code is AI-generated. Bluevine uses machine learning in lending and check processing, and an in-house credit-risk stack for automated underwriting, real-time onboarding and fraud controls; Valley's diligence covered AI model development, deployment and governance across underwriting, fraud and customer service, including explainability.

## Key points

- Valley National Bancorp agreed on September 28, 2026 to acquire Bluevine for about $340 million (about 75% cash, 25% stock), expected to close in early 2027 subject to regulatory approvals; CEO Eyal Lifshitz will become Valley's head of small-business banking.
- Valley's deal presentation describes Bluevine as AI-native: more than 90% of new code AI-generated and about 80% of inbound customer inquiries contained by AI; Valley CEO Ira Robbins said Bluevine adds valuable technology and AI capabilities and about 180 research and engineering staff.
- Lifshitz wrote in a January 2026 Forbes column that Bluevine's human-backed AI chatbot resolved over three-quarters of customer interactions in its first month, and that machine learning in lending and check processing supports 97% same-day funds disbursement on deposited checks, with humans still overseeing reviews.
- Bluevine's deposits sit at Coastal Community Bank (Member FDIC) and sweep program banks, with FDIC coverage marketed up to $3 million; its Line of Credit is issued by Celtic Bank, and Bluevine has funded lines through warehouse facilities and forward-flow sales to loan buyers.
- As of June 2026 Bluevine had about 175,000 active customers and $2.1 billion of deposits with a 1.44% cost of funds; its separate claim of over 1 million lifetime customers and $17 billion of financing includes Paycheck Protection Program loans.
- A 2021-2022 House Select Subcommittee investigation into PPP fraud found Bluevine adapted to fraud threats better than some peers because partner Celtic Bank pushed it to invest in fraud controls, but still had difficulty reporting fraud to law enforcement promptly.
- Bluevine's 2026 research using data from more than 200,000 accounts found 74% of small businesses using or testing AI tools and 53% saying AI and automation had absorbed at least one full-time employee's workload.

## Regulators it answers to

- [FDIC](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/fdic) — Bluevine's deposits are FDIC-insured through Coastal Community Bank and sweep program banks (marketed up to $3 million), and its Line of Credit is issued by Celtic Bank, a Utah-chartered industrial bank and FDIC member; its AI underwriting and onboarding run inside those banks' programmes until Valley takes the deposits.
- [CFPB](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/cfpb) — The Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B cover business credit, so automated line-of-credit decisions made in as little as five minutes must still produce specific adverse-action reasons. See [ECOA / Regulation B adverse action (15 U.S.C. 1691(d); 12 CFR 1002.9)](https://www.bankingnewsai.com/ai-regulation/documents/cfpb-ecoa-regulation-b-adverse-action).
- House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis — Investigated Bluevine and Celtic Bank in 2021-2022 over Paycheck Protection Program fraud controls, finding in December 2022 that Bluevine still struggled to report fraud to law enforcement promptly.
- U.S. Small Business Administration — Bluevine processed PPP loans under the SBA's programme with Celtic Bank, and its lifetime customer and financing totals include PPP loans.

## What the record suggests

### The AI team was part of the price

Valley's announcement lists Bluevine's engineering, data science and AI talent alongside its deposits, and says owning those capabilities will reduce reliance on third-party software providers. Bluevine's AI moves from a fintech's stack into a regulated bank's.

### Two different customer counts

Bluevine's June 2026 release claims over 1 million lifetime customers including PPP loans; the acquisition release says more than 415,000 businesses served since inception and about 175,000 active customers.

### Support automation reported by the company and the buyer

The 'over three-quarters' first-month resolution rate comes from Bluevine's CEO and the ~80% containment figure from Valley's deal deck; neither discloses customer outcomes or escalation rates.

### Fraud controls were shaped by a partner bank

Congressional investigators credited Celtic Bank with pushing Bluevine to invest in PPP fraud controls; today the same bank still issues Bluevine's Line of Credit.

### Lending is no longer the core business

Lines of credit once made up all of Bluevine's business; by June 2026 most revenue came from payments, subscriptions and float, and Valley says about 99% of deposits come from non-borrowing customers.

## FAQ

### Is Bluevine a bank?

No. Bluevine is a financial technology company. Its business checking deposits are held at Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC, and sweep-network program banks, and its Line of Credit is issued by Celtic Bank, a Utah-chartered industrial bank. Valley National Bancorp agreed on September 28, 2026 to acquire Bluevine for about $340 million; after closing, expected in early 2027, Bluevine's $2.1 billion of deposits are due to move onto Valley's balance sheet.

### Who is buying Bluevine?

Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ: VLY), parent of the roughly $66 billion-asset Valley National Bank, agreed on September 28, 2026 to buy Bluevine for about $340 million, about 75% in cash and 25% in Valley stock. The deal adds about 175,000 active small-business customers, $2.1 billion of deposits and about 180 R&D staff, and is expected to close in early 2027 subject to regulatory approvals. CEO Eyal Lifshitz will lead small-business banking at Valley.

### How does Bluevine use AI?

Bluevine uses AI in customer support, software development, underwriting, check processing and fraud controls. Valley's deal presentation says about 80% of inbound customer inquiries are contained by AI and more than 90% of new code is AI-generated. Its CEO has written that machine learning in check processing supports 97% same-day disbursement of deposited funds, with humans still overseeing reviews, and Bluevine planned faster AI-assisted underwriting in 2026.

### Does Bluevine use an AI chatbot?

Yes. CEO Eyal Lifshitz wrote in Forbes in January 2026 that Bluevine implemented an AI chatbot, aided by human support staff, to resolve simple concerns, and that it resolved over three-quarters of customer interactions in its first month. Valley National's September 2026 acquisition presentation puts the share of inbound inquiries contained by AI at about 80%.

### Who funds the Bluevine line of credit?

The Bluevine Line of Credit is issued by Celtic Bank, a Utah-chartered industrial bank and FDIC member. Bluevine has financed lines through warehouse debt, including an Atalaya facility raised to $150 million (upsizable to $300 million) in February 2022, and through a forward-flow programme that sells line-of-credit originations to outside buyers. Term loans are offered by Bluevine's lending partners rather than Bluevine.

### What happens to Bluevine accounts at Coastal Community Bank?

Coastal Community Bank has held Bluevine's deposits for about five years. American Banker reported that the relationship will end when Valley's acquisition closes and that Valley expects to move Bluevine depositors onto its balance sheet over about six months. Coastal Financial disclosed about $447 million of Bluevine-related deposits on its balance sheet as of September 25, 2026 and said it did not expect a material adverse effect.

### Did Bluevine face scrutiny over PPP fraud?

Yes. In May 2021 the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis opened an investigation into Bluevine and its partner Celtic Bank over PPP fraud screening. The December 2022 report found Bluevine adapted to fraud better than some fintechs because Celtic Bank pushed it to invest in fraud controls, but said it struggled to report fraud to law enforcement promptly.
