Context
OUR TAKE UBS recognises the impact AI is already having on the banking industry. Its proactive embrace of AI is forward-thinking, highlighting technology’s potential to revolutionise banking and help UBS maintain its leadership in the AI age. However, as AI becomes more integrated into financial services, UBS and other banks must remain vigilant about data security and ethical considerations. –Jasmine Zhang, BTW reporter UBS is experiencing a transformation in client interactions driven by artificial intelligence, according to Sabine Keller-Busse , head of the Swiss bank’s domestic business. She compared this shift to patients visiting doctors with preconceived notions of their ailments, as clients now use AI to generate ideas which they propose to the bank.

Pending intelligence enrichment.
Analysis
Speaking at the Point Zero Forum in Zurich, Keller-Busse highlighted the impact of tools like ChatGPT in making more data accessible to clients, emphasising the necessity for the bank to recognise this trend. UBS has integrated AI into its services and products, launching a pilot for instant credit last year aimed at small and mid-size companies with urgent liquidity needs. This service bypasses credit officers, speeding up the process for standard products. Keller-Busse noted, “It’s just the beginning of what we will see.” Also read: NOW Money secures $4M investment to boost digital banking
