SINGAPORE – Agentic AI is rapidly gaining traction within Asian banks, poised to fundamentally reshape deposit and credit card operations through real-time optimization, according to new research from IDC. A June 2024 survey of 360 banking professionals reveals meaningful anticipated benefits, including enhanced personalization, improved risk management, and streamlined customer experiences. The findings underscore a growing belief in the transformative power of autonomous AI agents to drive efficiency and innovation in the financial sector.

This technology is expected to permeate enterprise software, with 33% of applications incorporating agentic AI features by 2028, compared to less than 1% currently. IDC’s research specifically highlights the potential for Asian banks to leverage these advancements to optimize pricing,tailor product offerings,and proactively mitigate fraud – all in real-time.
