Summary
The relationship managers who resisted AI the hardest became its biggest advocates the first time it made them a hero in front of a client. Recorded live at nSight in Charlotte, Jim Marous talks with Jillian Boyle, SVP at WaFd Bank, and Will Jung, CTO of nCino, about arming front-line bankers rather than automating them. WaFd, with nearly $30 billion in assets, put an app in its bankers’ hands and gave them back the time they used to lose to administrative work. Boyle believes that while change management was an important part of the journey, banker adoption accelerated once teams saw how AI could help them better serve clients.
