Truist is zeroing in on AI to enhance productivity, underwriting and client engagement throughout the company,” Chief Executive Bill Rogers said during today’s earnings call. “We see AI as a real operating lever — one that improves the client experience while also creating productivity and operating leverage across our businesses without compromising control, safety and reliability,” he said. “Our focus is on using AI to strengthen relationships, giving clients faster, more personalized service, and enabling our teammates to spend more time advising and problem-solving, not navigating processes.” The Charlotte, N.C.-based bank has delivered 1.8 billion personalized AI-driven insights since 2023, driving 231 million client interactions, according to the presentation.
