Best Conversational AI Banking Platforms (2026): Top 9 Compared

Kasisto builds KAI, a conversational AI platform for banks and other financial institutions. Its agents answer customer questions, look up account information and complete routine requests on web, digital banking and browser channels. The platform runs on KAI-GPT, a large language model that Kasisto trained for banking, and supports several languages.

The product works with human staff rather than in place of them. KAI connects to live chat and contact center systems, so a conversation passes to a banker with its history when the agent cannot finish it. A no-code content management system lets the bank adjust answers and branding, and the multi-tenant design serves several brands from one installation.

Kasisto's recent positioning moves from answering questions to what it calls KAIgentic: agents that personalise replies from behaviour data, coordinate several specialised agents and reach out to customers before they call. Digital banking partners named on the product page include NCR, FIS and Q2, so a bank on one of those platforms can reach KAI through its existing provider.

On 23 June 2026 Backbase, an Amsterdam-based banking software company, announced that it had acquired Kasisto. The Kasisto platform and New York team now sit inside the Backbase Banking OS, and the combined agentic banking suite is offered to current and future Backbase customers. American Banker reported that Kasisto's clients range from JPMorganChase and TD Bank to community banks and credit unions.

Glia sells a customer interaction platform for financial institutions, and its site states that more than 700 banks, credit unions and other financial institutions use it. AI agents, human agents and digital channels share one system, which Glia calls ChannelLess. A customer who moves from chat to phone, or from an AI agent to a person, keeps the conversation history.

Glia Banker is the AI agent. It answers phone calls and digital inquiries and, according to Glia, handles more than 1,000 banking user goals, including balance checks, routing number requests, payment due dates, transfers and direct deposit questions. Glia states a 95%+ understanding rate for banking inquiries. It also offers a contractual guarantee against AI hallucinations and prompt injections.

Beyond self-service, Glia sells CoPilot, which surfaces knowledge and coaching to human agents during live calls, Glia Analyst for reporting, and AI Outreach for outbound campaigns such as CD renewals, indirect loan conversion and delinquency reminders. More than 100 pre-built integrations cover cores, online banking platforms, loan origination systems, CRMs and contact center systems.

Pricing is the main difference from usage-based vendors. Glia charges a fixed price per tier with unlimited seats and usage, so an institution that automates more calls does not pay more for them.

interface.ai sells AI agents to credit unions and community banks under the BankGPT platform name. The company states that more than 100 credit unions and community banks use it and that the platform handles more than 1.5 million conversations a day. Agents run on the phone line, the website and the mobile app, and speak several languages.

The chat product has three parts. The digital assistant answers questions and surfaces products from grounded generative AI. AI Transactions gives signed-in users a phone-banking style experience inside the chat: balance checks, fund transfers, payments and account monitoring. AI Conversion adds real-time co-browsing and guidance on complex forms, which interface.ai presents as a way to raise loan and account application completion.

AI Search is a separate informational agent that reads the institution's website and shared documents, so answers stay current without manual training. When a conversation needs a person, the chat agent hands it off with its full context. interface.ai states that the platform ships with pre-built integrations to core banking systems and third-party applications.

The company positions itself for smaller institutions that want the same self-service as large banks without building it. A buyer comparing it with Posh or Eltropy should ask which core and online banking integrations are live for its own systems.

Posh builds AI agents for financial institutions and states that more than 125 institutions use it across more than 300 deployments. Its platform runs on a reasoning engine Posh calls REALM and on Operating Procedures: written policies that each agent follows so answers and actions stay on-policy.

The Voice Agent answers calls, authenticates callers with one-time passwords, checks balances, moves funds and routes callers to specialists with context. It handles interruptions and changes of topic. An institution can start with mini-agents, single voice tasks such as branch hours or payments, and expand later. The Digital Assistant covers the website, mobile app, SMS and email, and Posh Answers adds an AI search bar to the website.

Posh also sells to employees. Knowledge Assistant answers staff questions from the same knowledge base as the customer agents, Posh Simulator trains staff with role-play, and Posh CoachQA reviews contact center conversations against procedures to find compliance gaps and fraud. Posh Outreach and Posh Translate add outbound agents and live interpretation.

Posh cites Sound Credit Union, which it says reached 91% of requests solved without a live agent and a 93% lower abandon rate. These figures come from the vendor's client story, not from independent measurement.

Eltropy began as a communication platform for community financial institutions and now sells an agentic AI platform on top of it. The company states that more than 750 community financial institutions use Eltropy. Members reach the institution by text, voice, video, secure chat or co-browsing, and AI agents handle the routine part of each conversation.

The AI suite has three layers. AI Voice and Digital Agents answer members on the phone, the website and in online banking around the clock. AI Assistants give employees answers from the institution's documents and policies. AI Intelligence analyses conversations across departments. Eltropy describes a unified data framework that combines member communications, policies and procedures, and core system data.

Eltropy states that more than 50 turnkey integrations connect its platform to cores, CRMs, loan origination, collections and contact center systems, so a conversation that starts in the front office can finish a task in the back office. Other modules include reputation management, lobby and appointment management, and Video Verify for identity checks.

The company also runs an AI certification course for credit union and community bank staff. A buyer already using Eltropy for texting or video banking can add the AI agents to its existing contract, while a new buyer should compare the whole platform, not the AI alone.

emerie is a conversational AI product for community banks, credit unions and fintechs. Its founder, Mike Boukadakis, describes thirty years in voice banking, and the product reflects that background: the phone channel comes first, and the agent speaks in the institution's brand voice rather than as a generic chatbot.

The product does three jobs. Voice AI answers calls, authenticates the caller, answers product and service questions, moves money and escalates to staff. Chat AI is an authenticated assistant on the website and mobile app. Employee AI gives staff answers from the institution's own documents, rates and procedures.

emerie names four use cases on its site: routine call handling and routing during business hours, after-hours overflow with notes handed to staff the next day, card fraud triage that reaches a card freeze in under 30 seconds, and guided account opening from first question to funded account. The company states that 72% of after-hours calls are resolved on the first interaction, a vendor figure rather than an independent measure.

All channels connect through the CX Gateway, which links interactions to core banking, card and fraud tools and other integrations, and gives the institution one place to govern and audit the AI. Buyers should ask which cores the gateway supports today.

Kore.ai sells an enterprise agent platform used across many industries, and banking is one of its packaged solutions. AI for Banking, also sold as a pre-built AI for Retail Banking application, ships with banking intents and workflows for account servicing, card replacement, transaction disputes and payments, which the bank can deploy without building from scratch.

The platform covers more than self-service. AI Agents talk to customers on voice, web, mobile, messaging and email. Contact Center AI handles routing and a customer experience platform. Agent AI gives human agents summaries, next-best actions and coaching during live interactions. Kore.ai states SOC 2 Type II and ADA compliance and PCI alignment for its banking and financial services offering.

A published Kore.ai case study describes a US regional bank that replaced its legacy IVR with Kore.ai voice and digital agents. The vendor reports more than 2.6 million customer sessions, more than 5 million minutes of automated voice interactions a year, and containment of 85.7% on digital and 42.4% on voice.

Kore.ai is the only vendor on this page with public usage prices. Its AWS Marketplace listing prices sessions and banking-specific BankAssist units, and the platform documentation explains that automation is billed per 15-minute session. A 14-day trial covers 2,000 sessions.

Cognigy is an enterprise conversational AI platform, now part of NICE and branded NICE Cognigy. It builds AI agents for customer service on voice and digital channels, and its banking and finance solution adds agents trained for common banking requests.

The banking page lists turnkey solutions for KYC identification and verification, address changes and account questions. Cognigy describes agents that answer account queries, process transactions, guide loan applications with document intake and status updates, reset passwords, activate cards and handle disputes. Agents use customer data and conversation context to personalise answers and work 24 hours a day in more than 100 languages.

The same AI agents assist human staff. During live conversations they surface knowledge, suggest next-best actions and read customer sentiment, which suits banks that run large contact centers alongside self-service. Cognigy states compliance with GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, PCI DSS and BSI C5 Type II.

Cognigy cites industry research that financial services firms using AI reduce costs by 29%. This figure is general research quoted by the vendor, not a Cognigy result. As a NICE product, Cognigy fits most naturally at banks already running NICE contact center software, although it also connects to other platforms.

boost.ai is a Norwegian conversational AI company whose platform powers customer service agents for banks, insurers and public bodies. Its banking solution states more than 80 live AI agents in financial services, and named clients include Nordea, DNB and MSU Federal Credit Union.

The banking agents automate customer and internal requests out of the box, including balance checks, reporting and blocking lost or stolen cards, loan pre-approvals and mortgage payments. They use customer account data to personalise answers and hand conversations to the bank's existing live chat platform when a person is needed. boost.ai sells chat and voice solutions for credit unions and building societies as well as large banks.

The platform is hybrid. It combines large language models with the intent-based design boost.ai used before generative AI, and adds guardrails to keep answers controlled. boost.ai lists GDPR compliance, FSQS certification, ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and SOC 2.

boost.ai reports that Nordea runs 12 AI agents across four markets with a resolution rate above 90% and 220,000 conversations a month. These are vendor-reported figures. A buyer should ask for references from institutions of its own size and country, because much of boost.ai's banking record is in the Nordics.
