Delgado highlighted UnionBank’s forward-thinking approach in leveraging AI to create hyper-personalized banking experiences, tailored to meet the needs of its growing customer base of over 15 million.


She emphasized that AI should be seen not as a replacement for human expertise, but as an assistive intelligence that enhances decision-making and customer engagement.



“The true value of AI lies in how we harness its capabilities to deliver meaningful interactions and customer experiences,” said Delgado.


“At UnionBank, our mission is to utilize technology to offer our clients seamless, impactful experiences, combining advanced AI solutions with the exceptional service of our dedicated team.”
