- The shift could alter the balance of power between banks and customers.
Israeli banks, along with their international counterparts, are rapidly adopting artificial intelligence technologies to streamline operations, enhance customer service, and boost profitability. However, this same technology poses a potential threat to a core revenue source for banks. As AI advances, intelligent agents could soon be capable of automatically transferring customer funds from low-interest checking accounts to higher-yield money market funds. This capability could significantly disrupt the traditional banking model, potentially diminishing profits derived from customer deposits and altering the power dynamic between financial institutions and their clients.
