How Institutional Finance Is Transforming with Generative AI

In 2025, generative AI—models that generate human-like text, code, and content—has become central to institutional finance. Firms from JPMorgan to Visa are integrating AI assistants, coding copils, investment tools, and agentic commerce systems that are reshaping how they operate, serve clients, and manage transactions.

1. Generative AI Goes Mainstream on Wall Street

Banks & Asset Managers
Large banking firms such as JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citi have shifted from pilots to enterprise-wide adoption of generative AI tools.

• JPMorgan: Its “LLM Suite” is used by over 200,000 employees, with the overall tech investment reaching $18 billion in 2025. These tools highlight productivity gains and enable AI-generated code (via “vibe coding”).
• Goldman Sachs: The firm’s AI assistant—rolled out to nearly 46,500 employees—automates document drafting and data analysis.
• Morgan Stanley: Productivity has risen via AI tools that save hundreds of thousands of coding hours per year .

Hedge Funds & Asset Managers
Hedge funds like Citadel and Bridgewater use AI-driven investment strategies, while asset managers like BlackRock it utilize agentic tools (e.g., “Asimov”) to enhance decision-making.

M&A and Investment Banking
Startups like Rogo use chatbots to automate financial modeling and competitor analysis—jointly supported by major banks.

2. AI Agents Powering Payments & Commerce

Visa and Mastercard
Visa launched Intelligent Commerce, enabling AI agents to shop, execute transactions, and manage purchases on behalf of users. They’re connecting agent-prescribed payments with tokenized credentials to ensure secure, automated transactions. Mastercard has similarly invested in “Agent Pay” frameworks for conversational commerce.

Industry Momentum
Per The Financial Brand, this shift—known as agentic payments—could reshape the economics of commerce, but also raises concerns about fraud and governance.

3. Productivity Gains & Job Market Transitions

Generative AI significantly amplifies efficiency:

• JPMorgan reports doubling advisor capacity and projected $1.5 billion in annual value from AI.
• Goldman Sachs automates up to 95% of IPO prospectus generation—with implications for counselor roles.

Yet, concerns persist: studies estimate up to half of all white-collar roles could be displaced, even as new hybrid jobs emerge.

4. Risks, Regulation & Governance

Regulators worldwide stress safe AI deployment in finance:

• Banks must address model risk, including hallucinations and biases, through oversight and auditability.
• Cross-border platforms like TTRPay face compliance pressures to ensure data privacy and explainable algorithms when processing stablecoins and fiat.
