AI & Lending

“Crypto company becomes a bank” is a tidy headline. It is a poor substitute for reading what the company is actually allowed to do.

Two banks. Two decisions. One useful lesson for lending executives: modernizing the machinery does not mean handing everyone the controls.

A borrower’s AI assistant can sound confident. Your institution still needs to know whether it has permission.

A more predictable capital calculation is useful. Mistaking it for permission to stop asking hard risk questions is not.
