Banco Sabadell Signs Agreement with T-Systems to Scale Agentic Artificial Intelligence
October 22, 2026 · 2 min read
Banco Sabadell has entered into a formal agreement with T-Systems to accelerate the adoption of agentic artificial intelligence across its operations while maintaining technological sovereignty. This partnership aims to establish a technological and governance foundation that allows the financial group to scale this new generation of artificial intelligence while retaining control, security, and flexibility within its architecture. The initiative seeks to transform artificial intelligence into a transversal and sustainable capability for the entire group.
The collaboration centers on the deployment of the T-Systems Agentic Artificial Intelligence platform, which was developed in Europe specifically for European enterprises with a sovereign focus. By utilizing this platform, the bank intends to launch new artificial intelligence initiatives without needing to build the necessary industrialization capabilities from scratch. The agreement includes the deployment of specific use cases that can be extended to new processes and entities within the banking group, thereby speeding up business transformation to increase productivity and impact on clients.
A primary pillar of this agreement is the preservation of the technological autonomy of Banco Sabadell as its artificial intelligence strategy evolves. The platform is designed to govern and control artificial intelligence agents created with different technologies and models, integrating them with corporate systems. This setup enables business leaders within the bank to manage, supervise, optimize, and hyper-automate their processes on a large scale while meeting stringent regulatory requirements. The architecture is described as open, modular, and interoperable, allowing operation across different technological environments.
The strategic approach allows the bank to select models, components, and infrastructures based on criteria such as performance, cost, security, criticality, and compliance. According to both parties, this method avoids structural dependencies on a single provider, often referred to as vendor lock-in, and provides the flexibility to evolve artificial intelligence capabilities over the long term. The framework supports the future incorporation of sovereign cloud capabilities, reinforcing control over data, operations, and critical technological assets. The platform natively covers a significant portion of the requirements needed for deployment, concentrating additional efforts on the specific capabilities of the bank.
Leaders from both organizations state that the true leap in artificial intelligence involves converting it into an industrial capability integrated into the business, capable of operating securely, sustainably, and at scale. They assert that this alliance combines open technology with a sovereign approach to consolidate artificial intelligence as a strategic lever for competitiveness, innovation, and efficiency under the direct control of the bank. The joint effort is positioned to lay the foundations for industrializing agentic artificial intelligence in a secure, open, and sovereign manner, with an architecture prepared to grow alongside the needs of the group.
