How is artificial intelligence(AI) used in the banking industry?

Algorithmic Trading

Computer systems powered with AI are responsible for nearly 70% of the trading today. Based on the inputs obtained by the AI models, high-frequency trades are made wisely. Plenty of hedge funds make use of this artificial intelligence model to facilitate trading. Financial markets and institution started deploying artificial intelligence to make to make decisions regarding investment on the fly.

Detecting Anti Money Laundering(AML) patterns

Money laundering is the process of showing the illegally earned money to be legal. The illegally earned money is considered “dirty” and the process “launders” the money to make it legal. AML contains the laws and regulations in order to prevent this money laundering process. Here AI-based systems are used to detect these money laundering activities.

Chatbots

Chatbots are AI based automated chat systems. These chatbots are largely used by the banks to improve customer relationships with zero human intervention. Chatbots identifies the context in the text and works more accurately replicating the human intelligence.

Fraud Detection

AI has a phenomenal impact on fraud detection. The software systems powered by AI models, with its human-like intelligence analyses tons of transactional data and discover fraudulent activities. AI systems have marked the greatest influence in finding the fraudulent trends happening in the banking industry.

AI application in top 4 Indian banks

State Bank of India (SBI)

State Bank of India, India largest bank with 420 million customers have adapted artificial intelligence(AI). With regards to it AI mission, SBI has launched a national hackathon- “Code For Bank”. This “Code For Bank” focuses on the blockchain, digital payments, robotic process automation, chatbots, IOT and machine learning.

SBI has also launched SIA, an AI-powered chatbot, that assists in daily banking functions. Since its launch, the chatbot has handled nearly 10,000 inquiries per second or 864 million in a day. This can be compared with the 25% of the queries processed by Google every day.

HDFC Bank

HDFC the renowned private bank has launched an AI-based chatbot called “EVA”(Electronic Virtual Assistant). EVA was launched in March 2018 and addressed over 2.7 million customer queries, held 1.2 million conversations and interacted with over 530,000 unique users. From 17 countries across the globe, EVA has answered more than 100,000 queries.

ICICI Bank
