What Gemini does in banking & fintech

Core tasks in banking & fintech
  • Identify and verify customers during onboarding (KYC/KYB, document checks, liveness)

  • Enterprise options via Vertex AI

Gemini has a strong published GDPR profile and, with the right business settings, is well suited to banking & fintech.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

You process identity documents, biometrics and transaction data: choose providers with EU data location, ISO 27001 and a data processing agreement, and ask whether customer data is used to train the provider's models. Outsourcing critical processes falls under the DORA and EBA rules, so secure exit and audit rights in writing. Creditworthiness assessment of natural persons is a high-risk application under the EU AI Act. For transaction monitoring, the supervisor expects you to explain why an alert is or isn't triggered, a human to decide on a report to the FIU, and that you test the model for unequal treatment of customer groups.

Via Vertex AI, processing can be pinned to EU regions (including the Netherlands). Enterprise data is not used for training; the free consumer app offers fewer guarantees (though stricter policies apply for the EU/EEA).

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
