Cohere for Banking
Governed AI agents for regulated banking operations.
Cohere helps banks connect core banking, payment rails, credit, and compliance data with AI workflows they can control. North, Cohere's agentic AI platform, brings secure reasoning to the systems that run modern banking, deployed under EU data jurisdiction with full DORA and AI Act compliance.
For credit risk teams
Reduce NPL ratios and detect credit deterioration earlier.
For executives
See regulatory, counterparty, and operational risk across lending portfolios.
For IT and compliance
Deploy with scoped access, MLRO approvals, audit trails, and sovereign data controls.
Powered by North
See the exposure. Trace the cause. Act with control.
North turns fragmented banking context into governed AI workflows for institutions that cannot afford black-box automation.
Detect earlier
Spot credit deterioration, suspicious transaction patterns, and regulatory gaps before they cascade.
Connect the dots
Bring core banking, payment rails, risk engines, KYC, and trade finance context together.
Keep humans in control
Recommend next steps with credit committee approvals, audit trails, and regulatory-grade documentation.
Banking is ready for AI that works where regulated operations happen.
The highest-value gains come when AI can reason across core systems, surface issues before they cascade, and keep people in control, all under EU data sovereignty.
NPL ratios
Potential reduction in non-performing loans through proactive portfolio monitoring and early-warning credit signals.
False positives
Potential reduction in AML transaction monitoring false positives when agents correlate payment flows, KYC data, and behavioral context.
Regulatory reporting
Potential reduction in BaFin/ECB reporting cycle time with automated FINREP/COREP aggregation and validation.
Banking agents that earn trust over time.
Start with read-only observation, then expand into credit diagnosis, risk analysis, compliance orchestration, and governed workflow automation as teams build confidence.
Ingest borrower financials, calculate DSCR and leverage ratios, cross-reference with credit bureau data, and produce credit memos with risk ratings.
Correlate SEPA/SWIFT transaction patterns, KYC profiles, and correspondent banking relationships to identify suspicious activity faster.
Review letters of credit against UCP 600 requirements, flag discrepancies, and generate remediation reports with full audit trails.
Aggregate data from core banking and risk engines, map to FINREP/COREP/Meldebogen schemas, and generate regulator-ready submissions.
Profile legacy data structures, map to target schemas (Temenos, FIS, Sopra), and execute migration batches with validation at each phase.
Built for banking systems, not just office workflows.
Banking AI has to meet institutions where their data lives. North connects to the system categories that carry lending performance, payment flows, compliance, trading, and customer context, with sovereign deployment options including air-gapped, hybrid, and EU-jurisdiction cloud.
Banking context
One conversation can span a credit alert, a correspondent banking exposure, a BaFin finding, and the remediation plan.
Instead of asking analysts to manually reconcile dashboards, risk reports, and regulatory filings, teams can ask targeted questions and get traceable answers grounded in the systems behind the bank.
Core banking + Loan origination
Customer and credit signals
Surface credit deterioration, covenant breaches, concentration risk, and customer lifecycle events with full regulatory context.
Payment rails + AML systems
Payment intelligence
Attach SEPA/SWIFT transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and correspondent banking exposure to existing payment workflows.
Sovereign by design.
North is built for banks that operate under EU data jurisdiction and cannot compromise on regulatory compliance.
EU data jurisdiction
All data processing, model inference, and audit logs remain within EU borders. No data transfer to non-EU jurisdictions.
DORA & BAIT compliant
Full alignment with Digital Operational Resilience Act and BaFin IT supervision requirements for ICT risk management, incident reporting, and third-party oversight.
EU AI Act ready
Transparency, human oversight, and risk classification built into every agent workflow. Credit and AML use cases include documented governance controls.
Air-gapped & hybrid deployment
Deploy North entirely on-premises, in a hybrid configuration, or within EU-sovereign cloud. No external API calls required.
Audit-grade traceability
Every agent decision is logged with source citations, reasoning chains, and human approval records, BaFin/ECB examination-ready on demand.
