AI in Banking – Industry Value Chain Analysis

28 November 2025
|
by AIMG

This report provides an end-to-end value chain analysis of artificial intelligence (AI) adoption in the banking sector, covering infrastructure, middleware, applications, risk and governance, operating models, economics, and vendor ecosystems. It examines key drivers such as hybrid cloud patterns, GPU constraints, regulatory pressures (EU AI Act, DORA), and integration bottlenecks. The findings are informed by dozens of structured expert interviews with banking CIOs, risk leaders, and platform buyers, whose insights help validate adoption patterns, challenges, and investment priorities. The study outlines priority use cases, market structure dynamics, ROI benchmarks, and phased strategic recommendations for banks, vendors, and investors. A detailed appendix maps technical layers, representative vendors, regulatory obligations, and KPIs.
