Banking has traditionally been a human capital industry from the booking of trades in the back office, to the verification of contracts in the middle office to serving customers in the front office. There are also many cross-functional departments that enable core function of banks to operate such as legal and human resources. Like many publicly traded companies, big banks face pressure to improve their operational efficiency, deliver shareholder value, while growing revenue, improving margin, and increasing total assets. One way that the banking industry is tackling this challenge with machine learning thus making investment in innovation critical to remaining competitive. In the banking sector, machine learning is currently used in several forms: chat bots, profiling customers, streaming lining processes (from client interactions to managing regulatory risks), spotting patterns (to detect potential fraud), and risk management[1]<\/a>. The mega trend is important to JP Morgan Chase not only as one of the biggest banks in the US market, but also as a company that looking to invest to gain a competitive advantage in the industry. So far it has been able to capitalize on machine learning through the use of new technologies primarily in the area of streamlining processes, profiling customers and chat bots[2]<\/a>, and are investing in furthering in the development of the bank\u2019s technological capabilities.<\/p>\n

JP Morgan Chase has over $2.6 trillion in assets and operates with over 250 thousand employees[3]<\/a>, however to deliver on its corporate mandates, the bank has made substantial investments in technology, with multiple machine learning based implementations. One area where this implementation has been successful is with its Contract Intelligence Platform. This platform is used to analyze commercial credit agreements that would normally require 360 thousand hours of labor to and with the new platform the work can now be done in seconds[4]<\/a>, essentially reducing the necessity for labor in this middle office processing task. This becomes critically important to the organization\u2019s management of process of improvement because not only is it improving operational efficiencies, but it also serves the function of removing human error that can occur with manual reviews.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

JP Morgan Chase is leveraging machine learning in the short-term to match clients with investing solutions to not only reduce labor but also with the implication of improving customer satisfaction. Internally the company has also released a chat bot to address 120 thousand employee ticket requests with a medium-term goal of efficiently processing the 1.7 million that it receives annually. When considering the medium-term strategies of the bank, JP Morgan Chase has invested over $9 billion towards new technologies with $3 billion dedicated towards new initiatives with an allocation devoted to partnerships[5]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Additional steps that I would recommend JP Morgan Chase to take in the short-term as they invest substantially in developing new technologies is to consider focusing developing technologies that will further enable their front office to be more efficient. An example of this would be using machine learning in developing an optimal robo-advisory program that can automatic generate sales pitches. This can be accomplished by using the patterns of buzzwords and trends that are proven to empirically enhance the propensity of clients to engage in transactions. In the mid-term using machine learning can also enable the firm to better understand how it is performing versus competition in markets where banks are obliged to disclose cost and performance scenarios on a trade by trade basis.<\/p>\n

When considering the medium-term use of machine learning, I would recommend JP Morgan Chase consider the impact that the integration of machine learning will have on the bank\u2019s current operational business model and strategy. Although machine learning has the ability to improve process within the front, middle, and back office of the bank, there are also potential ramifications to employees and culture. Therefore, it will be important to plan team structures and training so that employees whose role\u2019s may become redundant with the further integration of new machine learning technologies will have an opportunity to move cross functionally within the bank.<\/p>\n

In the context of this organization, an important open question that I am unsure about that merits comments from my classmates related to machine learning in the context of JP Morgan Chase is how will smaller banking entities be able to compete? Additionally, could substantial investment in machine learning potentially lead to further consolidation of the banking industry within the United States if smaller banks cannot compete?
