Abrigo launches agentic AI platform

AI agents help financial institutions scale operations with greater speed, consistency, and governance

RALEIGH, NC (July 8, 2026) |

Abrigo today announced the Abrigo Agentic Platform Experience (APX), its  new agentic platform designed to help financial institutions automate, orchestrate, and scale work across  their growth and risk management functions.  

Launching in Q3 2026, Abrigo Agentic Platform Experience for lending supports the full life of loan, from  pipeline management and underwriting through closing, servicing, and portfolio administration. The  platform delivers AI-driven execution while maintaining human oversight and institution-specific guardrails. 

Financial institutions continue to face rising customer, competitive, and operational pressures as fragmented  loan processes slow growth and weaken customer experiences. Abrigo estimates that agentic AI can reduce  manual labor by more than 40%, while also improving the borrower experience. That additional capacity can  help lenders spend more time with customers, as Datos Insights found nearly 4 in 10 businesses had not  met with their primary credit provider within the past two years. 

“The future of AI in community banking isn't about replacing people; it's about helping them have a greater  impact,” said John Brichetto, president and CEO of Santa Fe-based Century Bank. “Through our collaboration  with Abrigo, we've seen the potential for agentic lending to give our teams more time to advise customers,  strengthen local businesses, and deliver the personal service that differentiates community financial  institutions – while maintaining the strong governance our institution depends on,” added Brichetto. 

"Our customers expect responsive service, trusted advice, and bankers who understand their goals. That's  what sets our bank apart,” said Kent Curtis, the president and CEO of First Southwest Bank in Durango, Colo.  “As we work with Abrigo on the future of agentic lending, we're excited about the potential to create more  capacity for our teams to focus on customers, deepen relationships, and deliver an even greater impact  across the communities we serve." 

The new agentic banking platform is powered by Abrigo’s deep data network and decades of lending  expertise, AI agents validate information against institution policies and give teams clear visibility into  progress, priorities, and exceptions. Unlike traditional workflow tools that simply track tasks and require  humans to move processes forward, Abrigo’s AI agents proactively coordinate and complete tasks including  document collection, data review, exception handling, and quality control across lending operations. 

“We built Abrigo APX with explainability, governance, and operational control at its core because financial  institutions need AI that can scale responsibly,” said Ravi Nemalikanti, Chief Product and Technology Officer  of Abrigo. “Abrigo’s agentic banking platform combines institution-specific policy guardrails, clear decision  explanations, complete audit history, and continuous quality control monitoring to help financial institutions  scale AI-driven operations with confidence.” 

"Community banks and credit unions are looking for ways to use AI that actually fit how they operate, and  make a difference in the lives of their customers and members, with the controls and accountability their  regulators expect," said Charith Mendis, Banking Leader, Amazon Web Services. "Abrigo's platform on AWS  lets these institutions move well beyond point automation toward fully orchestrated, agentic systems,  automating complex lending workflows end-to-end while keeping humans in the loop where it matters."

Abrigo Agentic Platform Experience is expected to be generally available for lending in the third quarter of  2026. As part of Abrigo’s AI strategy, the company will continue to expand its agentic capabilities across  product lines in the coming quarters. This platform builds on Abrigo’s AI capabilities that were launched in  2025, including Abrigo’s Lending, Allowance, Loan Review, and AML Assistants and AskAbrigo, the company’s  AI banking agent.
