Bank of America wants AI to do treasury’s grunt work

Good morning. Treasury teams have never had a shortage of data. The harder problem is figuring out what matters.

That is increasingly becoming a job for AI. Bank of America announced this morning a new Payments Insights capability, part of CashPro, that analyzes payment efficiency, cross-border flows and working-capital performance and compares a company’s results with industry peers. The goal is less time spent assembling and sorting data, and more time deciding what to do with it.

The bigger question is what happens to the treasury job when AI moves from an experimental tool to something embedded in the systems teams use every day.

It’s the latest addition to CashPro Data Intelligence, BofA’s AI-powered suite of treasury analytics tools, which also includes cash forecasting and fraud-security scoring. CashPro processed 213 million payments in the first half of 2026, up 10% from a year earlier, according to the bank.

I asked Jennifer Sanctis, managing director and CashPro product executive at Bank of America, whether tools like this are leading companies to rethink how treasury teams operate.

“Over the last two years, the pressure on treasury teams to do more with less has only grown,” Sanctis told me. “We’re not necessarily seeing companies restructure their teams; instead, they’re looking for ways to free people from manual work so they can spend more time on higher-value analysis and decision-making.”

That tracks with what many CFOs have been telling me. Providing AI tools and training........
