Agentic AI is reshaping banking operations, enabling systems to act, decide, and learn at scale. Leading banks are redesigning their operating models to unlock new sources of value, improve resilience, and accelerate performance. As the gap between leaders and laggards widens, those who hesitate risk falling behind.

In this episode of McKinsey Talks Operations, Daphne Luchtenberg is joined by Senior Partner David Deninzon and Partner Abhilash Sridharan to explore how agentic AI is transforming banking operations today. Together, they discuss where banks are seeing the greatest impact, what it takes to rewire core processes and decision-making, and how leaders can position their organizations to capture the full potential of this rapidly advancing technology.
