What happened
BNY runs about 140 AI digital employees, each with login credentials, an employee number and a human supervisor, PYMNTS reported. Its payments agent checks vendor addresses and country codes on cross-border payments before a person reviews them. BNY says validations fell from up to six minutes to under 30 seconds and open payment investigations dropped nearly 80%, figures that are the bank's own and unaudited.
