BankBound has partnered with BOND.AI to bring Autopilot — an AI-powered customer intelligence platform — to community banks and credit unions, paired with BankBound’s bank marketing expertise. BOND.AI’s technology analyzes your institution’s transaction data to surface growth opportunities, and BankBound turns those insights into targeted marketing campaigns that reach the right customer at the right moment. Together, the partnership connects what your customers are actually doing with their money to the marketing they receive from you.
Autopilot is BOND.AI’s AI platform that transforms the transaction data already sitting in your core system into customer-level intelligence. It identifies opportunities to grow deposits, expand share of wallet, drive loan origination, and increase wealth management engagement — then helps you act on them before a competitor does. Autopilot is available in two versions: Analyst and Profit.
The Empathy Engine® is the patented technology at the heart of the platform. It analyzes customer transaction data — alongside behavior patterns, product intelligence, and macroeconomic signals — to model what customers need and predict where they are headed financially. Rather than simply reporting on what happened last quarter, it identifies hidden deposit potential and emerging opportunities within your existing customer base.
Autopilot Analyst is the intelligence tier: it benchmarks your institution against competitors and peer groups, forecasts your financial performance four quarters out, flags early warning indicators, and includes an AI virtual assistant you can query about your own banking data. Autopilot Profit includes everything in Analyst and adds action: it identifies specific deposit and balance growth opportunities in your transaction data, predicts individual customer needs, detects disengagement before customers leave, and powers automated, personalized campaign delivery.
Autopilot works with the transaction data your institution already holds — deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and card purchases flowing through your core system. These everyday transactions contain behavioral signals: a direct deposit that doubles, recurring transfers to an outside investment platform, home improvement purchases, or payments to a fintech lender. Autopilot reads those signals and translates them into opportunities your team can act on.
More than you might expect. Common examples include a maturing CD holder who has started rate shopping, a customer showing signs of a major life event like a home purchase or a growing family, share-of-wallet gaps such as money moving monthly to an outside investment app, borrowers at risk of refinancing elsewhere, and long-time customers whose activity suggests they’re disengaging. Each signal becomes a timely, relevant reason to reach out — instead of a generic message sent to everyone.
That’s where the partnership comes in. Autopilot detects the opportunity; BankBound executes the campaign. Behavioral signals trigger personalized outreach across the channels your customers already use — email, paid search, display advertising, social media, and streaming TV. The result is 1:1 marketing at scale: a customer with a CD maturing in 45 days sees a relevant rate message, not a mass promotion that has nothing to do with them.
No — that’s one of the biggest advantages. The same intelligence supports every desk at the bank. Branch managers get relationship-review conversations worth having, lenders spot refinance risk before the payoff request arrives, commercial teams see cash management gaps in deposit and payment patterns, wealth advisors receive warm referrals based on lifecycle signals, and the CFO gains forecasting that runs four quarters out using the bank’s own data.
Most bank reporting is historical — it tells you what happened after it happened. Autopilot is forward-looking: it predicts customer needs, forecasts performance, and flags risks early enough for you to do something about them. And unlike a standalone dashboard, insights don’t stop at a report. They flow directly into personalized marketing execution through BankBound.
Data security is foundational to any platform built for financial institutions, and it’s a conversation we take seriously. Your transaction data is used to serve your own customers — identifying opportunities and delivering relevant communication within relationships you already have. We’re happy to walk your team through the platform’s data handling, security, and compliance details as part of any evaluation.
Done right, it feels like the opposite — like their bank is paying attention. The goal isn’t to show customers that you’re watching their transactions; it’s to reach out with something relevant when it’s actually useful: a better option as a CD matures, home equity guidance during a renovation, or savings and planning help as a family grows. Relevant, well-timed communication consistently outperforms generic blasts precisely because customers find it helpful rather than annoying.
Start with a conversation. We’ll look at your institution’s goals — deposit growth, share of wallet, loan volume, retention — and show you what Autopilot and BankBound’s marketing execution would look like for your customer base. Contact BankBound to schedule a demo.
