Governed Microsoft Copilot rollout for employee workflows
Íslandsbanki reached close to 95% monthly active AI users after a governed Copilot rollout
Problem
Íslandsbanki's small teams faced regulatory requirements comparable to those of larger European banks. Earlier AI pilots encountered compliance barriers and did not spread widely.
Approach
The bank deployed Microsoft 365 Copilot alongside its existing Microsoft tools. Business and IT teams built custom agents with Copilot Studio. A separate Microsoft Foundry environment let teams test AI against compliance requirements before wider use.
Results
Takeaway
The bank combined employee training with a separate environment for testing compliance before wider deployment. Its active-use rates measured employee adoption.
