Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 19 (ANI): Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced a major artificial intelligence (AI) upgrade to its flagship TCS BaNCS platform, launching a new AI core designed to help banks and securities firms accelerate innovation while maintaining strong governance and risk controls.
The new capability, called TCS BaNCS AI Compass, integrates machine learning, deep learning, generative AI, and pre-built intelligent agents to enable financial institutions to embed AI across core operations.
According to a company statement Friday, the solution is aimed at decision-makers overseeing technology and digital transformation in banking, securities, and wealth management businesses
The IT services company said the AI Compass has been built with a no-code, configurable interface that allows teams to quickly build, train, test, and deploy AI agents across multiple use cases. These include customer onboarding, credit underwriting, query resolution, and operational decision support. In securities services, the platform can assist with tasks such as predicting the tax treatment of payouts, identifying missing event data, and interpreting complex documents.
Jennifer Smith, Executive Vice-President and Chief Technology Officer at Zions Bancorporation, said the company sees "a strong vision" in the new offering and noted its potential to help users apply AI in practical ways that improve efficiency and risk management.

The platform includes systematic bias testing, traceable workflows, and strict data lineage controls, with privacy-by-design principles embedded throughout.
