Innovation
Good technology starts with understanding. Together with our member savings banks and our customers, we find ways to simplify processes digitally and develop new solutions. The digital processing of promissory notes at vc trade is proof of this. We will continue along this path of progress.
Digital platforms
We offer practical digital solutions that simplify processes, speed them up and make them more transparent. This benefits businesses, local authorities and savings banks.
AI at Helaba
Driving transformation responsibly
We regard artificial intelligence as an integral part of our strategy for reducing complexity and scaling digital innovation safely. As part of the ‘HelabaAI’ strategic initiative, we are specifically identifying use cases for AI and developing new solutions that deliver direct added value. AI helps us to tap into new potential for value creation and growth.
Helena – AI in everyday working life
‘Helena’ brings the benefits of Artificial Intelligence directly to the workplace. The in-house AI assistant helps with research, analyses documents in no time at all and presents complex issues in a clear and understandable way. This saves our staff valuable time and allows them to focus more on value-adding tasks.
Digital culture, communities and collaboration
Our internal networks promote the transfer of knowledge and embed new technologies within the Helaba Group. After all, digital transformation – including artificial intelligence – is not achieved through technology alone, but through the people who drive it forward.
Shaping the digital future together
HelabaTransform is the Group-wide community for digitalisation and innovation.
Staff from various departments discuss current trends, develop new ideas and actively promote digital topics within their organisational units.
This creates synergies and provides new impetus for the Helaba Group’s digital development.
Drivers of the AI transformation
The AI Champions are actively driving forward the AI transformation within the Helaba Group.
As local advocates, they provide support on AI-related issues, develop new use cases and promote the responsible use of AI. They are now represented in every subsidiary and are building on an existing community focused on digital topics.
Skills for the digital future
With our comprehensive ‘Grow Digital’ learning programme, we are developing new skills for today’s digital workplace: the themed learning journeys provide practical knowledge, encourage the confident use of new technologies and support staff in continuously developing their skills.
AI? Let’s do it.
Innovation ecosystem and strong partnerships
Through our subsidiary, Helaba Digital, we offer start-ups access to expertise, capital, corporate clients and savings banks. We act as a partner, facilitator and adviser to all those involved.
We don’t have to build everything ourselves. Through Helaba Digital, we are investing in fintechs such as vc trade. With Schwarz Digits, we are developing AI applications and digital marketplaces based on open source. Partnerships help us make faster progress.
