Crowe alliance with Savvi AI accelerates regulator-ready AI in financial services
Savvi AI enables institutions to build and own governed AI solutions
CHICAGO (MAY 14, 2026) – Crowe LLP, a leading public accounting and consulting firm, today announced an alliance with financial services intelligence layer Savvi AI. The collaboration helps clients accelerate development and deployment of AI-driven solutions directly into their workflows with enterprise-grade security and compliance for regulated industries.
Banks, credit unions, payment solutions and fintech organizations face increasing pressure to be tech-forward in a time of rapidly evolving policy and regulations. Together, Savvi and Crowe offer a scalable AI platform and deep industry expertise to help institutions responsibly move from development to deployment faster. From deposit retention and growth to risk reduction and dynamic operational improvements, clients can execute without the need for large, specialized teams or complex infrastructure.
“Financial institutions are facing new competition, but many are still operating on intricate legacy architectures and highly manual workflows,” said Chad Kellar, Advisory partner at Crowe. “We’re excited to work with Savvi to bring a responsible optimization approach to market – aligning people, process, technology, and AI – so clients can move faster on outcomes while maintaining transparency and strong governance.”
Savvi’s approach centers on helping institutions build and own ‘Intelligence Capital’ – the models, decision systems, and operational learning that remain owned by the institution and improve over time. The platform is designed to operationalize AI in complex, regulated environments by embedding AI applications and agents directly into core workflows. The result is AI that is auditable and built to deliver sustained business impact.
“Financial institutions require AI capabilities that are transparent, well-governed, and aligned with their risk frameworks” said Maya Mikhailov, founder and CEO of Savvi AI. “We focus on enabling organizations to build and operate AI-driven solutions designed to continuously learn and deliver consistent, measurable outcomes.”
