CIBC Mellon taps Duco for AI-powered data automation tech

CIBC Mellon and UK-based Duco have joined forces to integrate AI-powered data automation technology into CIBC Mellon’s asset servicing platform, marking a significant development in the fintech landscape.

Established in 1996 through a partnership between Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) and BNY Mellon, CIBC Mellon offers asset servicing solutions tailored to banks, pension funds, foreign insurance trusts, and other institutional asset managers. With a robust track record, the firm boasts managing assets totaling CAD 2.8 trillion as of the last quarter.

The collaboration with Duco signifies CIBC Mellon’s commitment to staying at the forefront of technological innovation within the financial services sector. By leveraging Duco’s advanced no-code data automation capabilities, CIBC Mellon aims to optimize data management processes, minimize operational risks, and elevate client experience, as highlighted by CEO Mal Cullen.

Cullen emphasizes that the integration of AI-based automation ensures that CIBC Mellon’s operations remain exception-based and sustainable over the long term, aligning with the firm’s strategic objectives.

Richard Anton, CIBC Mellon’s chief client officer, underscores the partnership’s focus on driving automation across repetitive tasks, enabling the unit to allocate resources towards insight generation and analysis. Additionally, it aims to enhance the efficiency of data management, processing, and utilization throughout the organization.

This strategic move by CIBC Mellon reflects broader trends within the industry, with other stakeholders, such as BNY Mellon, also embracing AI technologies. BNY Mellon recently announced its collaboration with Nvidia’s AI-powered supercomputer, among other initiatives, to bolster the development and management of AI applications and on-premise AI infrastructure.
