AI-Powered Banking: Transforming BFSI with ServiceNow’s Intelligent Automation
Publish Date: February 25, 2025Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn’t just in the future; it is already driving transformative change across industries. The Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector, known for its complexity and reliance on precision, is undergoing a significant AI-powered evolution. According to the latest industry reports, AI adoption is helping financial institutions enhance efficiency, drive innovation, and improve compliance.
However, while digital transformation remains a top priority, banks struggle to realize the expected returns. A survey of 1,125 global banking executives across 12 countries reveals that only 30% believe their transformation efforts have helped them keep pace with digital expectations, and merely 32% have seen improvements in risk and compliance management. This highlights the urgent need for BFSI enterprises to leverage AI-powered automation effectively.

Despite widespread acknowledgment of AI’s potential, not all financial institutions are capitalizing on its full value. A clear distinction exists between pacesetters—those leading the AI-driven transformation—and others who lag:
- 96% of pacesetters are scaling business processes to drive cross-functional collaboration (vs. 56% of others).
- 85% of pacesetters are automating workflows for employee productivity (vs. 37% of others).
- 84% of pacesetters are digitizing governance, risk, and compliance (vs. 37% of others).
- 83% of pacesetters are making substantial AI investments to optimize technology infrastructure (vs. 59% of others).
Furthermore, pacesetters are investing significantly in AI, with over 80% deploying traditional AI models and more than 60% adopting generative AI to drive intelligent automation.
