Built to act as a central engine for designing, developing and scaling advanced AI capabilities, the Hub will seek to reinvent banking processes across operations, customer experience, risk, and compliance, and modernize the technology backbone.

Priaeus will also lean on Udacity, Accenture's AI-native learning and training platform to embed AI skills and ways of working across the organization.

The AI Hub builds on Piraeus' successful collaboration with Accenture to adopt a cloud first operating model, migrating its technology stack to Microsoft Azure.

"The AI Hub represents a strategic inflection point for Piraeus," says Harry Margaritis, group chief operating officer, Piraeus. "We are advancing from individual AI deployments to a unified, enterprise-level capability that is deeply embedded in how the Bank operates. Our collaboration with Accenture, together with the integration of Anthropic's AI technology, enables us to scale advanced AI responsibly, anchored in strong governance, transparency and human control. This initiative empowers our people, reinforces trust with our customers and regulators, and builds a resilient, future-ready foundation for banking in Greece."
