Community banks budgeted a median of $1.5 million on technology last year, according to Bank Director’s 2023 Technology Survey, and that figure rises every year. But banks that prize their independence might want to think twice about tapping the brakes on tech investments, David Feaster of Raymond James suggested on Day Two of Acquire or Be Acquired. Instead, they ought to think about how they might deploy technology in ways that allow them to work more efficiently, says Emily McCormick, Bank Director’s vice president of editorial and research. This theme was echoed by Bank of America Corp. CEO Brian Moynihan, who discussed how the bank has balanced its use of artificial intelligence with its branch network during his keynote conversation.
