Metro Bank Leverages AI to Revolutionize Corporate and Commercial Lending

Metro Bank partners with Covecta to deploy AI across its loan book, enhancing efficiency, decision-making, and customer service.

Highlights:

  1. Metro Bank collaborates with Covecta to integrate AI into its corporate and commercial credit operations.
  2. The AI platform reduces loan processing time by 60-80%, improving efficiency and risk analysis.
  3. This initiative supports Metro Bank’s growth strategy, focusing on customer-centric relationship banking.

Story: Metro Bank has announced a strategic partnership with Covecta, an AI platform tailored for financial services, to transform its corporate and commercial lending processes. By deploying Covecta’s agentic AI solution, Metro Bank aims to streamline the entire loan lifecycle—from lead acquisition to servicing—compressing tasks that previously took hours into mere minutes.

This innovative approach has already demonstrated a 60-80% reduction in processing time during initial trials, significantly enhancing team efficiency and decision-making capabilities. The move aligns with Metro Bank’s commitment to growth, as evidenced by a 71% increase in new loan originations last year. By freeing up time for its banking experts to focus on customer service, Metro Bank reinforces its ethos of relationship-driven banking while staying ahead in the competitive financial landscape.
