After Successful Pilot, Republic Bank of Chicago Expands AI Partnership with Sympera AI

The Chicago-area community bank is scaling Sympera’s AI-native platform across its Business Banking operations following strong banker adoption and results in commercial relationship banking.
Most banks today are running AI pilots. Very few are moving them into production at the frontline especially for commercial and business banking teams where relationships drive revenue. Republic Bank of Chicago is doing exactly that. Following a successful pilot, the bank has selected Sympera to scale its Business Banking operations, making it the latest institution to move AI from experimentation to a core part of how its bankers work.
How it works?
Sympera’s AI-native platform combines external business signals, including company updates, hiring activity, and operational changes, with the bank’s internal data such as CRM history and existing client relationships. The result: banker-ready actions surfaced and delivered directly into daily workflows inside Microsoft Dynamics, so relationship managers can focus on the highest-potential opportunities and maintain consistent engagement across their portfolio.
AI is moving from experimentation to becoming a core part of how banks operate. What convinced us was seeing our bankers adopt it — Sympera surfaced the right opportunities at the right time and fit naturally into how our teams already work in Microsoft Dynamics. The pilot proved the thesis; now we’re scaling it.
This deployment highlights the tangible impact of agentic AI in banking — empowering relationship managers to prioritize high-value opportunities, respond faster to growth signals, and deliver more consistent results across the organization.
