AI Artificial intelligence FDIA Federal Deposit Insurance Act
The current administration has begun to implement significant changes to the size and scope of the federal government to achieve stated goals including reducing the federal budget deficit and national debt, improving the efficiency of government operations, and promoting innovation and economic growth. To date, these efforts have been carried out through a mix of executive actions aimed at eliminating or modifying federal agency and federal program funding, reducing the size of the federal workforce, reducing or altering the scope of activities conducted by, and possibly eliminating, various federal agencies and bureaus, and encouraging the use of artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies within the public and private sectors. If implemented, these changes may have varied effects on the economy that are difficult to predict. For instance, the delivery of government services and the distribution of federal program funds and benefits may be disrupted or, in some cases, eliminated as a result of funding cuts or recasting of federal agency mandates. Further, a substantial reduction of the federal workforce could adversely affect regional and local economies, both directly and indirectly, in geographies with significant concentrations of federal employees and contractors. It is possible that the velocity of such comprehensive changes to the federal government may be materially adverse to the regional and local economies where we conduct business and to our customers, which, in turn, could be materially adverse to our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The rise of artificial intelligence and generative AI presents risks to our operations, controls, and compliance.
We make limited use of artificial intelligence technologies, including generative AI, and do not rely on them for core or mission‑critical banking activities such as credit decisions, pricing, transaction approvals, or other essential functions. Our current use of AI is confined to controlled, non‑critical administrative or productivity‑support purposes, such as research assistance, drafting, and data summarization. In addition, AI functionality may be embedded in certain third‑party software and services we use.
Even limited use of AI technologies exposes us to operational, regulatory, cybersecurity, third‑party, and reputational risks. AI‑enabled tools may produce inaccurate, incomplete, biased, or misleading outputs that can be difficult to validate or explain. If AI‑generated information is relied upon without appropriate human oversight, it could result in operational errors, weakened internal controls, customer harm, or regulatory or compliance issues, including fair lending or consumer protection concerns.
AI technologies may also increase cybersecurity, data privacy, intellectual property, and confidentiality risks. AI tools can enable more sophisticated fraud, phishing, impersonation, or other cyber threats, and the processing of sensitive or proprietary information through AI‑enabled systems—particularly those operated by third parties—may increase the risk of unauthorized disclosures, data breaches, or privacy violations.
We are also exposed to risks arising from third‑party vendors that incorporate AI or automated technologies into their products or services, even where we do not directly control such functionality. Vendor failures, misuse, bias, or regulatory noncompliance could disrupt our operations, expose us to supervisory scrutiny, or require us to modify or discontinue certain services, potentially at significant cost.
The legal and regulatory framework governing AI and automated technologies is rapidly evolving. Federal and state banking regulators are increasingly applying existing principles relating to governance, model risk management, fairness, and explainability to AI‑enabled systems, and new laws, regulations, or supervisory expectations could require additional controls, documentation, oversight, or training, increase compliance costs, or limit permissible uses of AI. Regulators have also cautioned against overstating AI capabilities or benefits.
In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to address the technological needs of our customers that will satisfy client demands for convenience in addition to providing secure electronic environments. The financial services industry is experiencing rapid and significant technological change, including developments in digital banking platforms, payment systems, data analytics, artificial intelligence, automation, and distributed‑ledger or blockchain‑based technologies. As we continue to grow and expand our market area, part of our growth strategy is to focus on expanding market share and product offerings through partnerships with financial technology companies that will supplement our existing offerings, such as blockchain-based products and/or financial solutions supported by artificial intelligence. These technological advances are intended to allow us to acquire new customers and generate additional core deposits at a lower cost. However, the development, implementation, integration, and oversight of new technologies and third‑party solutions involve significant costs, operational complexity, and risk, including heightened regulatory expectations related to third‑party risk management, data governance, cybersecurity, model risk management, and consumer protection.

We completed key projects to enhance regulatory compliance, payment processing and digital capabilities. Key technology upgrades included the implementation of AI-based monitoring tools, network infrastructure enhancements and strengthened compliance tracking measures, all of which were designed to support greater operational efficiency and risk management.

These technological advances are intended to allow us to acquire new customers and generate additional core deposits at a lower cost. Many of our larger competitors have substantially greater resources to invest, and have invested significantly more than us, in technological improvements. As a result, they may be able to offer additional or more convenient products compared to those that we will be able to provide, which would put us at a competitive disadvantage. Accordingly, we may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing such products and services to our customers, which could impair our growth and profitability.
