Darling Consulting Group Launches DCG Intelligence™, a Revolutionary AI Analytics Engine for Banks and Credit Unions

Securely ‘talk to’ vetted deposit and loan data to produce actionable C-level insights in seconds

NEWBURYPORT, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Darling Consulting Group, Inc., a national consulting firm highly regarded for its offerings of integrated balance sheet management analytics, strategy, and risk services for banks and credit unions, today announced the launch of DCG Intelligence^TM. A strategy-driven AI engine built directly into DCG’s behavioral analytics software solutions for deposits and loans, DCG Intelligence enables bankers to ‘talk to their data’, literally.

DCG’s game-changing framework empowers institutions to raise and tackle the deposit- and loan-related strategy questions that matter most, including customer behavior patterns, customer and product elasticities, forecasted responses to pricing and product structure decisions, product performance, competitive positioning, and a myriad of other institution-specific use cases.

DCG Intelligence is built from over four decades of deposit and loan strategy work through nine economic cycles, leveraging extensive historical proprietary deposit and loan data from across the U.S., including tens of thousands of documented client strategy discussions and regulatory interactions.

“DCG Intelligence empowers bankers in a way that other analytics solutions or generic AI simply can’t,” said Matt Pieniazek, DCG President & CEO, “DCG Intelligence knows which questions actually matter to bankers, how to listen to and understand them, how to think about them, and thus how to answer them in real time using the institution’s own data. This is truly unparalleled and will change the conversation throughout bank and credit union C-Suites and their entire organizations.”

Built for institutions at any stage of their AI journey, DCG Intelligence is designed to eliminate the need for dedicated staff or internal IT investments to extract the value hidden in loan and deposit customer data. It allows users to ask questions of their deposit and loan data in natural language and quickly surface analysis, trends, charts, and executive-level insights without needing to know where to start or how to build the analysis themselves.

“Bankers can ‘talk to their data’ by asking questions in plain English about how their deposit and loan portfolios are performing today, and how they may perform in the future. They can go from question to meaningful analysis with no wait time, turning their data into real answers, not just aggregated data and dashboards,” said Justin Bakst, DCG Executive Director of Products & Solutions.

Trust, security, and control are core to DCG Intelligence’s design. The solution is constructed with the security, transparency, and controls necessitated in the banking environment, with built-in guardrails, no personally identifiable information (PII) required, and cited information that allows users to understand the basis for its responses. No black boxes; DCG Intelligence’s transparency and clarity educate as it executes.

The launch of DCG Intelligence is a notable milestone in DCG’s ongoing commitment to helping banks and credit unions develop increasingly data-driven strategy more easily, quickly, and securely, leveraging unparalleled deposit and loan data assets.
