Sabadell plans large-scale AI agent rollout from 2027
Banco Sabadell plans to roll out AI agents across its operations, starting in the first half of 2027.
The Spanish bank has agreed with T-Systems to use a platform designed to manage these systems.
The agents will support customers, bank staff and internal processes, including virtual assistants, real-time information for bankers and some risk analysis.
Sabadell expects the technology to improve efficiency, reduce costs and help manage risk.
The bank says the agents will need strict safeguards, including emergency shut-off systems and human checks on critical decisions.
Sabadell wants to use different AI models rather than depend on one provider, and is assessing options including Google alongside its current main use of OpenAI.
The platform is intended to support agents built with different technologies, while helping the bank meet European rules on resilience and plans to switch providers.
Banco Sabadell plans to begin a large-scale rollout of artificial intelligence agents in the first half of 2027.
The bank has agreed with T-Systems to implement a platform for deploying and managing the agents.
The planned uses include customer service, support for commercial staff and automation of internal processes.
Sabadell says the agents will need security, resilience and controls comparable to those for its other critical systems.
The bank aims to avoid relying on a single AI model provider.

What people are saying
The agents are something in between. They are not a classic computer program, but they are not a person either.
They cannot be left to run without protection.
With this platform, we are not tying ourselves to any frontier AI model provider, nor to their own agent platforms.
